The man, Ramezan Ebrahimi was accused of of taking part in armed clashes with state security forces.







Human Rights Watch called Iran to release the arrested teachers.
Also they ask the Iranian authorities to immediately lift the ban on the Hamedan Teachers Association.
April 7, security forces in the city of Hamedan arrested 33 teachers after the weekly meeting of the Hamedan Teachers Association. Later that evening, security forces went to the homes of 12 other Association teachers and arrested them at their residences. The detainees included the entire governing board of the Hamedan Teachers Association.
Tuesday, the spokesperson of the Iranian Judiciary, Alireza Jamshidi, told that the Iranian Government had banned the Hamedan Teachers Association and that the teachers were arrested as a result of continuing their activities with the Association.
Eventually 30 of the teachers got freed.
Nine of them stayed detaineed.
