The Judge refused to release Majid Dorri upon a bail

Committee of Human rights reporters – After spending more than two months in detention, Majid Dorri, the expellee from Allameh University, was rejected a release upon placing a bail. Despite the fact that the officer in charge had agreed on him being released upon a bail, the judge (Hasan Zare’ Dehnavi, branch 2 of security) refused to release him under this condition and asked for the continuation of his detention until the date of his court.

Majid Dorri is a member of the Council for defending the right to higher education and he was arrested for the first time on 1st Tir (June 20th) during the post-election demonstrations. After his release, he was arrested for the second time on 18th Tir (July 8th) and in his court he was faced with a new accusation: leading a group of protesters. His overall physical state seems to have been reasonable according to his family after their last visit.
