Abolfazl Ranjbari, a lawyer, has been in detention for more than four months and remains held in an uncertain state in Tabriz Prison.

According to HRANA, Abolfazl Ranjbari has now been detained for 138 days. A source close to the prisoner’s family told HRANA: “After two months of interrogation and being held in The Ministry of Intelligence’s detention facility in Tabriz, Mr. Ranjbari was transferred to the quarantine ward of Tabriz Prison. He is now held in Ward 5, known as the secure ward (‘Health Ward’), without a clear status. So far, no opportunity has been given for him to post bail. Mr. Ranjbari has also been denied contact and visits with his family and relatives.”

His case, after being reviewed by the Tabriz Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office, has been sent to the city’s court for trial.

Abolfazl Ranjbari, lawyer and writer, was arrested by security forces in Tabriz on May 4 of this year.
