Kabir
Students;
Majid

The 6th
Branch

court
sentenced
the
three
students
each,
three,
two and
two
years
prison
sentences
respectively.
The

It is
reported
that the
Appeal
court
has
disputed
the
charges
under
the
pressure
of the
Iranian
Intelligence
Ministry
and the
General
Prosecutors
office
of
Tehran.
Prior to
this,
the
Public
court
had
violated
the 6th
branch
courts'
verdict,
which
had
acquitted
the
three
students
and
ordered
their
release
on bail.
It is
evident
that the
public
court
had been
influence
by the
Intelligence
ministry,
specifically
the
personal
persistence
of
deputy
General
prosecutor
"Hadad",(Known
by the
prisoners
as the
butcher
of
political
prisoners).
The
three
students
have
been in
prison
since
February
2007.
They
have
been
under
constant
torture
and
pressure
of the
Intelligence
Ministry
to
provide
fake
interviews
and
accept
their
charges.
At the
beginning
they
faced
charges
of
insulting
"sacred
values"
of the
Islamic
Republic,
by
printing
leaflets
with
insulting
images
of the
religious
leader.
They
denied
the
charges
categorically,
saying
the
publications
had been
faked.
The
public
Court
had
acquitted
the
students
of all
charges,
namely:
Insulting
sacred
religious
values,
insulting
kins to
all
Moslems
(a term
usually
associated
with
relatives
of the
prophet
, in
this
case,
the
country's
appointed
religious
leader),
insulting
the
people
of Ghom
city,
Insulting
hejabed
women,
young
believers,
insulting
the
Presidency
of the
state
and
other
officials
including
the
science
and
technology
Minister,
and
officials
of
Amirkabir
University.
After 8
years
and nine
months
detention,
Mehrdad
Lohrasbi
, who
was
arrested
in 1999
has been
released.
Mr.Lohrasbi,
was
arrested
in
relation
to the
1999
student
unrest
and sent
to "Tohid"
and the
notorious
"209"
section
of Evin
prison.
There he
was
subjected
to
brutal
torture.
The 6th
branch
of the
so
called
revolution
court,
charged
him with
threatening
National
security
and
propagating
against
the
State,
and
sentenced
him to
death by
hanging.
Later,
an
appeal
court
revised
his
prison
sentence
along
with
others
arrested
during
the same
unrest,
to long
prison
sentences.
Mr
Lohrasbi,
was only
allowed
to under
go

treatment
twice
during
his
detention.
He had
been
transferred
from
Evin
prison
to
Rajaei
shahr,
under
the

of the
Intelligence
Ministry.
