In the final hours of last night, Sunday, prison guards and security forces at Qezel Hesar Prison,
#Iran, attacked and beat political prisoners and forcibly removed at least 22 prisoners, including my brother Ali Younesi, from Ward 4. This incident occurred simultaneously with the transfer of Akbar Daneshvarkar and Mohammad Taghavi for the execution of their death sentences.
The families of these prisoners have no information about the condition or whereabouts of their loved ones. Today, unlike previous days, Ali did not make his usual phone call to my mother.
Among the prisoners who were transferred to an unknown location and whose situation has remained unclear since last night are:
Babak Alipour, Vahid Bani-Amerian, Pouya Ghobadi, Abolhassan Montazer, Saeed Masouri, Ahmadreza Haeri, Afshin Baymani, Hamzeh Savari, Ali Younesi, Sepehr Emam-Jomeh, Reza Mohammad Hosseini, Akbar Bagheri, Ali Moezi, Meysam Dehban Zadeh, Loghman Aminpour, Arsham Rezaei, and Hossein Ramezani.
