According to a news report by Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran more than 100 people gathered in front of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran this morning hoping to obtain some news about their loved ones. Some were waiting to confirm that their loved ones were in fact arrested, while others were waiting for the list names of individuals who had been granted bail.

There were mothers and fathers present who for the past two months had not received any news about their children. A 62 year old father stated with tears in his eyes that he had not had any news about his 27 years old son since June 20th. This man was extremely upset and concerned about the well being of his son, as was cursing Khamenei and calling him a murderer. Other people nearby also joined in this man’s chants and cursed Khamenei and Ahmadinejad. More than 60 people gathered in front of the Evin Prison hoping to obtain some news about their loved ones and to be able to visit them. Not surprisingly prison officials were not willing to help these individuals and instead threatened them with arrest if they were to stand around the Evin Prison any longer. The families continued to stand up against the prison officials stating “You have already arrested our loved ones, you might as well arrest us too.” A new list of individuals arrested during the recent protests provided by Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran 1.
