Committee of Human Rights Reporters - Student activist Mahdieh Golroo has been banned for the fourth time from seeing her husband. Prison officials, in reply to the repeated visitation requests of Mahdieh’s husband Vahid Lalipour, announced that Mahdieh Golroo is “prohibited from visits.”
In the final days before the end of 1388 (the end of the Persian calendar year), Mahdieh Golroo and her husband are banned from seeing each other for even ten minutes. Lalipour, who recently endured three months in prison, was released on February 21, 2010.
Reports suggest that the intensified pressures on Mahdieh Golroo has resulted in increased worry from her family and friends.
Recently Mahdieh Golroo’s file has been forwarded to branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court under judge PirAbbasi. Branch 26 is also where two members of the Right to Education Council Zia Nabavi and Majid Dori have been sentenced to 15 and 11 years in prison.
Mahdieh Golroo, an Allameh University student banned from continuing her education, is a member of the Right to Education Council. On December 3, 2009 Golroo and her husband were arrested at their home. Last year, Mahdieh Golroo participated in a sit-in protest against the banning of students. She was consequently arrested and taken to Evin prison.
Mahdieh Golroo is also a member of the Committee for Civil Defense, the headquarters of Mehdi Karroubi’s campaign during the election. Currently Zia Nabavi, Majid Dori, Shiva Nazar Ahari, and Mahdieh Golroo are the prisoners who are activists for the right to education.
