Misc. Sources


- ((For the safety of the individual, I will not be posting their name, or link to the original source in the following.)) On Sunday 9th May 2010,


1) Last night they raided my father's house and went through all my sister's things, taking the computer, a number of books and CDs with them when they left. They also made a bunch of verbal threats and false charges, that have of course all been rejected, against me in front of my mom and dad. My dad said, even if I end up in their prisons too, don't you worry about anything my love, stick to the truth.


2) The status of Mohamad Reza Kamafi Alsabegh remains unclear.


3) Abdollah remains in solitary confinement.


4) I am in jail. My thanks to all those who worry about me and continue to inquire about my well being.
