Ms. “Bahareh” Wife of current political detainee Both she and her husband left Iran over 10 years ago. Within the past two years, she went to Iran with her son from abroad, where she had been living. During that time, nothing happened, but as she was about to leave, they took her passport and interrogated her four times. She was mostly questioned about her husband’s activities and statements in foreign media. Her husband started to be politically active at the age of 14. In 2012, he received a letter from authorities that he was not permitted to leave Iran (he was already abroad though at this point). No reason for the travel ban was listed on the letter, so he consulted a lawyer, and the lawyer implied that he should not get involved in such things. Recently, she and her husband did go back, along with their nine-year-old son, to Iran. Her husband had not been back to Iran since the events of 2009; he agreed to go back “because of President Rouhani’s pledges.” But hers and his passports were taken away. She and her son were eventually able to come back to their home abroad, but he is still in Iran. When they were in Iran, they were interrogated once together, but he was summoned three more times.

However, in reality, officials did not give his passport back to him, and he now has a new trial summons. They did agree with the authorities not to speak about the case to others, but after a few months, Iranian state press wrote about his case on its own.
