Behrooz Javid-Tehrani's family has expressed great concern for his safely. It has been 3 weeks since they heard from him. Two weeks ago, Javid-Tehrani's sister went to Rejaiishahr prison in order to visit her brother and was prohibited. She asked the court for an explanation why her brother is not being permitted to either use the phone or to have visitors; she was told that he made the mistake of giving an interview to Radio Farda (the Persian Broadcast of Radio Free Europe) in which he had revealed the names of his interrogators and torturers and as such he has had all his privileges taken away. This occurred after Javid-Tehrani announced that he was brutally tortured while being detained in Evin Prison's infamous ward 209 and had lodged vocal complaints against his torturers; he is now known to be suffering from severe head and eye injuries.
