Amir Khosrow Dalirsani
Amir Khosrow Dalirsani (Persian: امیرخسرو دلیرثانی, also spelled Amir Khosro Dalirsani), an Iranian national-religious activist and a member of the Committee Against Arbitrary Arrests, has been arrested after Iranian presidential election in 2009.
Arrest[edit]
Dalirsani was arrested on January 3, 2010, following the popular protests on December 27, 2009 (Ashura).[1] Judge Mogheyseh of the 28th branch of the Revolutionary Court charged him with "gathering and collusion with the intent to commit crimes against national security" to 4 years in prison. His trial was held on May 16, 2010.[2] The decision has been communicated to Dalirsani who is currently detained at ward 350 of Evin Prison.
Amir Khosro Dalirsani who is serving his 4-year prison sentence, is deprived of prison leaves and prison visits since March 2010, with his 5 years old child.[3]
Hunger Strike[edit]
On June 2, 2011, Amir Khosrow Dalirsani went on a hunger strike along with Hoda Saber after Haleh Sahabi was assaulted at her father's funeral which resulted in her death. Saber died of a heart attack during the hunger strike.[4]
From June 18, 2010, Amir Khosrow Dalirsani along with 11 political prisoners went on the second hunger strike after Saber's dead.[5][6] Kalame reports Abdollah Momenei and Amir Khosrow Dalirsani have been treated very harshly by Evin personnel.[7] Interrogators have chastised Amir Khosrow Dalirsani telling him that his hunger strike along with Hoda Saber's hunger strike has caused all of these problems.
