Status of Majid Tavakoli Unknown


The status of Majid Tavakoli, student activist and member of the Islamic Students Association of Polytecnic University, is unknown.

Majid Tavakoli was arrested on December 7, 2009 [shortly after] delivering a speech [in commemoration of] Student Day. Even though the court has sentenced him to prison, Tavakoli remains in solitary confinement.

Since January 7, 2010, the day that Majid Tavakoli called home, he has had no other contact with his family. Any attempt by Majid Tavakoli’s family to arrange an in-person meeting with him has proved fruitless.

Majid Tavakoli’s unknown status has caused his family much worry.
