Comment On Reza Shahabi Prison
Sentence
Commenting on the reported six year jail sentence handed down to Vahed Syndicate board member Reza Shahabi, ITF general secretary David Cockroft said: “This sentence is outrageous. A man whose health is failing is being condemned to years of imprisonment on farcical charges. The Iranian government has stooped to a new low. Surely there are still some within it who can reverse this horrendous persecution.”
