Zia Nabavi: Prisoner of the day
ICHRI: In an interview with the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, father of exiled political prisoner Zia Nabavi said that none of his requests for his son's furlough and his transfer to another prison have been accepted. "Unfortunately, Tehran Prosecutor did not agree with any of our requests. We wanted Zia to come home for the New Year, but they told us that furlough does not apply to Zia, returning our letter of request to the Tehran Prosecutor about this," he said.
Referring to the change in the management of Karoon Prison in Ahvaz, Ali Akbar Nabavi told the Campaign that the conditions in this prison have improved compared to the past. "Fortunately, the nutrition, hygiene, and visitation conditions have improved in this prison and during our last visit, Zia was very well. But after all this time, he needs a furlough and to be near his family. Prison furlough is every prisoner's right, including Zia's," said Ali Akbar Nabavi.
"It is really difficult for us to travel the long distance to Ahvaz every week to visit with my son, which is why on many weeks when we are not able to make the trip, we are deprived from visiting with him. We requested that at least Zia be transferred to a prison in a town near where we live. We requested for his transfer to Tehran, but they said that this does not apply to Zia. In general, they don't answer us properly," Zia Nabavi's father said, adding, "I hope the authorities agree."
Zia Nabavi, former member of the Babol Industrial University Islamic Association, spokesperson for The Right To Education Council, and a chemical engineering graduate of Babol Industrial University. Despite passing the graduate school entrance exam in sociology with top ranking in 2008, Zia Nabavi became a "starred student," banned from enrollment and continuing his education. Zia nabavi was arrested on 15 June 2009. A Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided by Judge Pirabassi, sentenced Nabavi to 15 years in prison in exile, which was later reduced to 10 years at appeals level. He is currently serving his prison term at Karoon Prison in Ahvaz. In a 2011 letter addressed to Mohammad Javad Larijani, Head of the Iranian Judiciary's High Council for Human Rights, Zia Nabavi provided shocking details about the inhumane conditions of Karoon Prison. This led to a change in the conditions of political prisoners in that facility.

what do you expect from IRI?
by Soosan Khanoom on Sun Mar 18, 2012 08:58 AM PDTWhen they look at your resume to see if you have attended namazeh-Jomhe rather than an Ivy League school to even offer a job., then imprisonment and killing of the brightest are the least of their worries.
his crime? being a top rated, "star" student!
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Sun Mar 18, 2012 08:36 AM PDTJust think about it this way, if he was born or lived in the "heart of Evil Imperialism", USA, he'd be looking at a very bright future, instead of being tortured in islamist torture chambers.
Even Nazi germany would not imprison their best and brightest. They'd put them in charge of their weapons programmes! But in Islamist republic of hell, they imprison this bright, patriotic young man, and put a half brain bassiji thug, with fake degrees, in charge of their "nuclear programme", before blowing his head up in streets of Tehran!
