Iran: concern

Several Ahwazi-journalists were arrested this week, and according to ISNA some confessed to promoting ethnic division.
An Iranian human rights organisation told BAFS that one of the arrested journalists is Mohammad-Hussein Falahieh, 29-years old.
Mohammad-Hussein Falahieh has worked as chief editor of Aghlam-ol-Talaba newspaper and has also worked as a radio and television journalist, including work as a news presenter on Al-Alam TV. He also worked for Dubai-based radio and television stations and had a regular newspaper column in leading Arabic newspapers in the Middle East. His last job was a Arabic/Farsi translator at the Algerian Embassy in Tehran.
He is reportedly held in Evinprison, section 209.



At the site meydaan.com is an interview with the daughter of
Mahboubeh Abbasgholizadeh
, one of the two womanactivists, who are jailed in Evinprison.
In this interview she tells, among other things, about her concern because her mother as only person has not called her family from prison, while everybody else has.

Also the presidency from EU has expressed its deep concern at the arrests.
