Hamid Reza Khadem: Prisoner of the day

National Front activist sentenced to four years

Rahana: Hamid Reza Khadem, 34, is a political activist affiliated with the National Front who was detained in the aftermath of the 2009 elections.

Khadem was arrested for the first time the night after Ashura Day protests (27 December 2009), and was released on 17 January 2010. He was summoned to Evin Prison Court and arrested again on 5 November 2011, and was transferred to Evin Prison to commence his sentence.

Branch 15 of Tehran Revolutionary Court under Judge Salavati sentenced Hamid Reza Khadem to five years in prison on 6 December 2010. Branch 54 of Tehran Appeals Court later reduced the sentence to four years in prison. Khadem was charged with "assembly, collusion, and propagation against the state through writing articles and interviewing with the media."

Hamid Reza Khadem suffers from various ailments, including advanced back disc problems which, according to his wife, he has developed in prison.

thieves,  thugs and Murderers.

This brave, patriotic Young man, Hamid Reza is from JM. Other prisoners featured on this site, are from Kurdish Socialist Groups, bahaiis,sunnis, moderate shia'tes,  reformists, folks accused of being MKO (certain death sentence...), Workers union organisers,  communists, Nationalists, Monarchists, men, women, young, old.....

Only the scum of earth is still supportingt this Fascist, corrupt, thieveing, murdering regime of shiat god's spokesman on earth. This rotten wall of islamist "republic" of thieves and murderers needs just one big push to collapse upon itself

Political freedom is part of the basic human rights and IRI has been in violation of those rights for over 33 years now.  Despite much fear and intimidation, millions choose to risk their lives and go on the streets of Tehran and other cities to demand their rights.  As a result, many have paid a hefty price and spending their young years behind bars.  We owe it to them our gratitude and full support and a demand for their immediate and unconditional freedom.
