Bahman Daroshafaei In exile
Daroshafaei had reportedly been working as a translator for Mahi Publishing Company and for an NGO focusing on vulnerable children and women.
After living in the United Kingdom for several years, he returned to Iran in September 2014 to be near his family. But when he arrived at the airport, authorities seized his passport. Since his arrival, Intelligence Ministry officials have reportedly interrogated Daroshafaei more than 40 times about his activities as a journalist.
Daroshafaei was released on bail on February 23rd 2016.
