- The nineteen people that were arrested in the religious ceremony a week ago are now being held hostage by the coup forces. They have been transferred to Evin prison. No other information about them is known.
- Grand Ayatollah Montazeri in solidarity with the families of political prisoners and victims of the post-election events did not hold a celebration for the anniversary of the Birthday of Imam Reza (the eight Imam of shias). He announced that: “Although today is a great day and is the anniversary of the Birthday of Imam... Reza (peace be upon him), but since many of our beloved scholars, those who are not only faithful individuals but also served this revolution and country passionately, are unfortunately in prison for false accusations; and to show solidarity and sympathy with the respected families of these loved ones, we did not hold a celebration today.” He also added: “During Shah’s time because many people were under oppression, Imam Khomeini announced not to hold the ceremony for the Birthday of the hidden Imam (which is one of the biggest celebrations in Shia’s calendar)”. At the end he expressed hope that the innocent prisoners be freed immediately and that God bless the authorities with more faith and wisdom so that they don’t repeat such acts.
- According to Tagheer website Mohammad Quchani, journalist and chief editor of Etemad-Melli newspaper (Karoubi’s official newspaper) who has been arrested after the presidential coup in June, was released from prison on bail early this morning (Oct 30th).
- Mahmoud Vahidnia, the student who bravely criticized Khamenei directly has been taken into custody by the IRGC, and apparently has not come home after his family had been told he would only be questioned for an hour. His family was contacted and told he is fine, but cannot talk. They were then threatened to not speak about the case.
-Two prisoners have died in Evin, due to lack of medical treatment.
