The arrests of political activists, journalists and students continue as families of individuals who are in prison because of detentions on February 11 – the anniversary of the Islamic revolution in 1979 – spent every night in front of Tehran’s notorious Evin prison in their attempt to learn of their detained members.

While some prisoners have been released, there is still a large group behind bars and since the revelation of the manner in which Mehdi Karoubi’s son was arrested and then tortured, these family members are seriously concerned about the condition of their loved ones.
