RAHANA – Following a meeting between Mahdieh Golroo’s mother and judge Pir-Abassi, the judge agreed to reduce the amount of bail by $200,000 USD, bringing it to $500,000 USD.
Golroo’s husband Vahid Lalipour said, “The problem is that even the $500,000 bail is not within our means, otherwise we would not have hesitated even for a minute to post it. We would not let our dear Mahdieh remain captive even for one more night. We have no other choice but to wait and see whether the court will agree to the amount the family has been able to secure after much difficulty.”
Mahdieh Golroo was arrested on November 3, 2009 and is currently detained in Tehran’s Evin prison.
