HRANA News Agency – Hamid Babai’s family had gone to visit him at Rajai Shahr prison, but they were told that Mr. Babai had been sent to solitary confinement and was not allowed to have visitors because of profanity. After continuous follow-up by the family, it was found out that this claim was not true and Mr. Babai had protested against the prison warden because he had avoided to send his complaint to the judge of his case and was arbitrary punished. Mr. Babbai has protested at Mohammad Mardani, head of prison, because of illegally preventing him from following the legal process of his case, and the warden took the advantage of his position out of prison procedures and regulations, and denied him having visitors and made his family worried about him, by false claims.

According to the report Human Rights Activists News Agency in Iran (HRANA), a source close to Babai family told HRANA’s reporter:  “Hamid’s wife had gone from the city of Qazvin to visit him in Rajai Shahr prison in Kara, and she was told that Hamid was incommunicado because of profanity and he was in solitary confinement. She was told to go to the court to pursue the new case. His wife was worried and went there and she found from the law-enforcement office that he was not in the solitary confinement. By contacting the prosecution, she realized that he was not incommunicado, and there was nothing in that regard recorded in the system”.
