Iran: turn

Human Rights Watch published more information on the arrest of Somayeh Bayenat.
February 21 she was arrested in Gorgan in a way that looked more like a kidnapping, than an arrest.
She was pushed in a car by plainclothed men and although her anxieted familymembers phoned policestations and hospitals, nobody knew where she was.
It was not until afternoon February 22, they got the message she was held in Gorgan's Womens Prison, also the reason why was unknown for a long time.
She told her family she had been arrested in connection with a group of medical doctors with whom the authorities are alleging she works, and that she had been charged with several criminal offences, including forging medical documents and performing illegal abortions. She claimed that she would be released within five to seven days.
Her brother told Human Rights Watch that his family is not aware of any such group of doctors and does not believe any of these allegations, as Bayanat is a dentist.

Human Rights Watch asks Iranian government to release Somayeh Batebi and drop the dubious charges against her.
Also they ask Iranian government to grant proper medical care for her husband Ahmad Batebi who after being transferred on February 18 to Tajrish Shohada Hospital, was brought back to Evinprison on February 20.
According to his physician Dr. Hisam Firoozi he needs immediate proper medical attention.




Unionleader Mansour Osanloo is due to go on trial on February 24 on charges of acting against Iran's national security.
He told Radio Farda that authorities turned a simple case dealing with union and workers problems into a security [issue], which was really not the case.
