Iran: a new allegation against pol. Prisoner, Afshin Baymani

New allegation has been filed against Afshin Baymani, a pol. Prisoner in Gohardasht prison, west of Tehran. According to activists in defense of pol. Prisoners, Mr. Baymani who is currently being held in Ward 12 of Gohardasht Prison is facing a new set of accusations which would result in a new case and possibly additional jail term and further and harsher punishments.
It is said that Mr. Baymani has also been charged with “insult of sanctity and the leader” and has been summoned to court again.
A source close to his case told “Campaign in Defense of Political Prisoners” that he was summoned for preliminary interrogations by the prison security and new case was filed and he is supposed to be called to court for “insult of sanctity and the leader”.
Afshin Baymani was arrested on Sept. 5th, 2000 and was sentenced to death by hanging. His sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment.
