Mehdi Khazali: Prisoner of the day

Son of high-ranking ayatollah on hunger strike

A href="//www.rahesabz.net/story/48205/">RaheSabz

: Mehdi Khazali has embarked on the 17th day of his hunger strike with failing health. Security forces brutally beat and injured the dissident writer during the 9 January arrest, breaking his arm and his teeth, and injuring his knee, before transferring him to Intelligence Ministry's Ward 209 at Evin Prison. His charges are "insulting the Supreme Leader and Larijani brothers," and "writing an article advocating boycott of elections."

Son of a high-ranking cleric, Mehdi Khazali is head of Hayyan Publishers and founder of Aba-Saleh Publishing House. He was first arrested in the aftermath of the 2009 presidential election, when he wrote blogs criticizing the government's violent crackdown on election protesters. He was arrested again in October 2010 on charges of "acting against national security," and "creating public anxiety." He was arrested a third time in July 2011 and released on bail a month later. After his release, Khazali wrote critical letters to the Supreme Leader and to Larijani brothers. In an unprecedented act, he also appeared as guest on VOA Persian Network's popular Parazit program in October 2011.

Khazali's family members told JARAS that he has embarked on a hunger strike to protest his situation at Evin Prison. "He has lost 16 Kilograms, and when the Intelligence Ministry forces brutally threw him on the floor, his teeth became loose. But his repeated requests for seeing a doctor have been denied so far," said the dissident blogger's family.

Here's the October 8th 2011 Parazit in which he was interviewed from the UAE:

Any relation to Ayatola khazaali of Ahwaz?

If so no support is needed.

The given informative deposition @ IC's bench and under the oath were the truth and nothing but the truth about the RPs status in gugas worldwide. There was absolutely no intention either to make any suggestion or to accuse anybody of anything at any ways. As a precaution such might help one on IC, however, if in case he/she ends up next to the RPs, GOD forbids, Your Honor, Experienced!

PS: The 'Tales' in the previous comment was a typo error. The correct word was 'Tails.' As most rats have tails & not tales. But due to their natures RPs could easily make up all sorts of 'tales' about others & stand by their 'tails' with the truth. Please take a note of that. Thanks for your patience.

Demo, when someone avoids giving a straight answer to a straight question of clarification on a statement, in my experience,  it is because that person's original statement was a lie.

The Highly Decorated Rats

Not only the PRs could change their colors to any colors instantly, the regime could also either attach a pack of lies 'Vitaes' to their tales or publicize such to fool everybody both inside & outside of the gulags. Beware, just in case.

Demo: Are you suggesting that this guy is a "prison Rat"?

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

I know very little about him BTW, but reading his bio, he comes across as a streotypical Mousavi supporter... 

My own view is that ALL political prisoners of the regime need to be supported by us, unconditionally. So he has my support, until and unless I hear from you or someone else - with solid proof- that he is indeed a "prison rat"....

This dictatorial regime has proven that no one can escape their wrath of tyranny if they stand or speak against them.  Every political prisoner deserves our backing and sustain campaign for their immediate and unconditional freedom.

 My hats off to every one of these brave soul who put their principal for freedom and democracy ahead of themselves.

Prisons' Rats!

by Demo on

Every prison has too many rats. They all act like real prisoners but they have been housed there by the intelligence ministry to spy on the other inmates. They even do long hunger strikes to make them look more real. Beware of them.
