detención por parte de una autoridad independiente e imparcial.

Alleged physical and psychological torture and ill-treatment, including prolonged
solitary confinement and denial of adequate medical care, of a spiritual leader, and the
arrest and detention of a blogger, in reprisal for their cooperation with the United
Nations, its mechanisms and representatives in the field of human rights. On 25 October
2014, Dr. Mohammad Ali Taheri began a hunger strike in protest of his continued
detention in solitary confinement and the introduction of a new charge against him,
namely corruption on earth (Mofsid fil Arz), in relation to his letter addressed to the
United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic
Republic of Iran. If convicted, the new charge could result in the imposition of the death
penalty. Even though Dr. Taheri became unconscious on 15 November 2014, he was
not sent to hospital for proper treatment. Mr. Mohammad Reza Pourshajari, who was
released on 23 August 2014 after serving a four year prison term, was rearrested on 30
September 2014, including for contacts with the Special Rapporteur on the situation of
human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran. He is reportedly currently awaiting his
court trial. Dr. Taheri and Mr. Pourshajari were the subject of previous communications
sent on 10 July 2013, see A/HRC/25/74, case no. IRN 11/2013; on 22 August 2013, see
A/HRC/25/74, case no. IRN 13/2013; and on 24 March 2014, see A/HRC/27/72, case
no. IRN 4/2014.
