July 30 2014 – The Intern![\"\"](\"http:\/\/iransos.com\/en\/photo\/2011\/j\/Jason%20Rezaian.jpg\")
ational Campaign for Human Rights in Iran has learned that the journalists Jason Rezaian and Yeganeh Salehi, who were\u00a0detained in Tehran on July 22, 2014, are being held in an unknown location. Except for a phone call to their families the day after their detention, the two journalists have not been allowed any contact with the outside world.<\/p>\n
The Campaign\u00a0reported earlier\u00a0\u00a0that the detainees\u2019 names are not registered in any of the Tehran prisons or in any official records of the Judiciary. In addition to Rezaian and his wife, a photographer and her husband were also arrested on the same night. The photographer\u2019s husband was released on the night of July 28.
\nThe Campaign has learned that the released individual is in a very poor psychological state and he has isolated himself from others since his release. Over the past few days, the photographer also contacted her family; she was reportedly in great distress and did not provide any information about which organization arrested her, her detention location, or the charges she is facing.
\nJason Rezaian and his wife Yeganeh Salehi are both correspondents who work for the Washington Post and the UAE-based National newspaper respectively, and they have licenses from the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance for their journalistic activities in Iran.
\nSources told the Campaign that top-ranking officials in the Iranian Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary branches were uninformed regarding the details of the arrests. Iran\u2019s Prosecutor General and Spokesperson for the Iranian Judiciary, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, told reporters on July 25 that he has not been informed about the detentions. \u201cI have no information about this case. You must allow time to clarify everything,\u201d he stated, as reported by the\u00a0Fars News Agency.
\nIn a video clip released yesterday, Jason Rezaian\u2019s mother, Mary Rezaian, asked Iranian authorities to release her son and daughter-in-law. She said in the video clip that Jason Rezaian suffers from high blood pressure and that his arrest and detention could endanger his health.
