March 8 is Ali Nejati unionmember of Haft Tapeh Sugar Cane Factory Trade Union, in his house arrested by security agents.
March 12 a judge at Shoush Revolutionary Court issued a temporary detention order. On the same day judiciary officials told Nejati’s wife that he has been transferred to the prison in Dezful.
When his wife wanted to visit him, she witnessed his transfer out of that prison in a car.
When his wife requested information, the authorities told her that the judge who issued the order had left to celebrate the New Year and would not return until 4 April. There is nothing known about his whereabouts.
A spokesman of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran says that it is completely unacceptable to withhold information about him and that he may be suffering torture and ill-treatment.
