Human rights and media outlets are reporting that the daughter-in-law of imprisoned Iranian labor leader Mansour Osanloo was kidnapped and severely beaten in Iran on June 23rd.

Parveneh Osanloo, the wife of the labor leader, told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that her daughter-in-law was seized at a metro station in Tehran as she was returning home from work. She was blindfolded, taken to an unknown location and brutally beaten. Her assailants demanded that she sign a paper pledging that if Mansour Osanloo was released from prison, the Osanloo family would either give up all political activities or leave Iran. Parveneh Osanloo told Rooz Online that her daughter-in-law suffered a miscarriage from the attack.

She also said, "What happened to my daughter-in-law was a warning for all of us.. . . .I announce right now that the Islamic Republic officials are responsible if any member of my family's life is in danger or anything happens to us."
