SOHEIL ARABI HAS BEEN SUMMONED AGAIN TO THE COURT OF TEHRAN!

Following a “new” case against Soheil Arabi, the anarchist political prisoner in the Rajaei Shahr prison in Karaj, west of Tehran, he is obliged to report himself to the “Tehran Revolutionary Court” Section 26. on July 26, 2021. According to his previous prison sentence, he should have been released from prison two years ago. However, the fascist Islamic State prison authorities in Iran do not intend to release him for as long as possible. Because every time he approaches the end of his prison sentence, they begin to launch a “new” fabricated case against him as an obstacle to his release.

The accusations against him on several occasions have been the same: “The insult to the leader of the Islamic Republic, gathering and collusion to act against the national security, propaganda activity against the Islamic system in cyberspace by several reports on the situation in the Great Tehran Prison, supportive statement of the people’s protest uprising in November 2019, criticism of the treatment of prisoners of the prison authority, in particular against the deputy prosecutor’s duty of supervision, hunger strike to protest against deprivation of political prisoners’ rights to medical treatment”, etc.

Soheil Arabi had previously denied all such allegations in court. There he had said that “I have no opportunity to have access to the internet here in prison”!

Since the day of his arrest on November 7, 2013, he has been deprived of time off, even for a single day. If another prison sentence is not added to his case, he would be released from jail in June 2025.
