Mohammad Reza Nasab Abdollahi Released
Since his arrest, authorities have transferred Abdollahi to an undisclosed location in Anar.
According to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), Abdollahi's wife posted on Instagram that after the security officers raided their home, they also raided Abdollahi's mother's home and confiscated his belongings, including a laptop and notes.
Prior to the recent arrest, another court had sentenced Mohammad-Reza Nasab Abdollahi to six months in prison on the charge of “dissemination of false information.” In 2005, he spent six months in prison in the city of Rafsanjan, also in Kerman province. He was released after he served his sentence and paid a US$100 fine.
