The Situation of Prisoner Hossein Ronaqi Maleki

Judicial officials in Tehran’s attorney general office have refused to respond to imprisoned student (since December 2009) and blogger Hossein Ronaqi Maleki’s family regarding his case.

Reporters And Human rights Activists News Agency (RAHANA) – Each time they inquire about his case, Hossein Ronaqi Maleki’s family is mistreated and judicial officials do not provide them with any answers.

According to a RAHANA reporter, Hossein Ronaqi’s parents do not speak Persian very well [they are originally from Tabriz, a city that predominantly speaks Azerbaijani Turkic]. They sit in front of the prosecutor`s office from the early morning hours for the chance to meet with Tehran’s Attorney General. The parents wait until 9:00pm to meet with the prosecutor, but they have not yet received an answer and Tehran`s attorney general Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi has not agreed to meet with them. Instead, the parents are ridiculed and mocked by regime agents for their inability to speak Persian.

Hossein Ronaqi Maleki has been detained in ward 2-A of the Revolutionary Guards ward since December 2009. He is under extreme psychological and physical pressure to give a confession. Three weeks ago, he was granted permission to receive visitation from his parents.

Meanwhile, pro-government media, in collaboration with security institutions and the Gerdab website, have made unfounded allegations against Hossein and other human rights activists. Before any trial is held, they are making serious accusations against Hossein Ronaqi.
