The legal representative of a prominent Iranian human rights lawyer, believed missing for two weeks, now says he has been found detained at an Intelligence Ministry facility in northwestern Iran, RFE/RL’s Radio Farda reports.
Mohammad Seifzadeh was sentenced to nine years in jail in October for “acting against national security” by setting up the Center for Human Rights Defenders, which he co-founded with Nobel Peace Prize-winner Shirin Ebadi and two other lawyers.
