Jafar Ebrahimi, the teacher trade unionist that was held in jail simply for trying to organise a union meeting, was freed on bail in December. However, Education International remains concerned about the continued detention of Farzad Kamangar, Rasoul Bodaghi and Hashem Khastar. EI addressed a letter to the Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei and the Head of the Judiciary to suspend the execution of Kamangar and to allow for international delegations to visit him in prison and to observe his upcoming court case.
Farzad Kamangar, who is accused of acting against the security of the country, remains in Evin Prison, despite what his lawyer says is a total lack of evidence against him. More information here.
