Appeal for Urgent action        

Release Yaqoob Mehrnehad from Iranian prison

Yaqoob Mehrnehad founder and leader of Sedaye Edelat, a youth association in Balochistan in Iran is under arrest since 27 April 2007 with out any charge.

 The latest news that we have received he has been moved to Zahidan’s Central jail, previously he have been held by Iranian intelligence service.

Yaqoob Mehrnehad

For several months after his arrest no any visit was permitted under term of imprisonment. Recent visits by family have though been permitted, and these short visits have been performed under extensively stringent govermental supervision.  The visits indicate clearly  that Mr Yaqoob Mehrnehad has been tortured, and his life in danger.

Taking in the account that the regime’s latest action while arresting and killing social cultural activists in Balochistan with hanging and execution as consequence, his life is in danger in Iranian jail.

We implore thus Amnesty international to start an urgent action to pressurize Iranian regime to free Mr. Yaqoob Mehrnehad as soon as possible.

Thanking you in advance

Yours sincerely
