HRANA News Agency – The Revolutionary Court of Bavi County, Khuzestan Province, held a hearing for Masoud Jamei, a political prisoner detained in Sheiban Prison, Ahvaz, along with his wife, Zeinab Hezbapour, and their children, Nahid, Dalal, and Roghayeh Jamei.
According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists in Iran, five members of this family stood trial earlier this week. During the session, Masoud Jamei, his wife, and their three children defended themselves against charges of alleged connections with an opposition group. They had previously been summoned to court through official notices.
Masoud Jamei had already been indicted by the Ahvaz Prosecutor’s Office on charges including “spreading corruption on earth,” membership in opposition groups, and “assembly and collusion to disrupt national security.”
Jamei, who suffers from fatty liver disease and digestive issues, was arrested by security forces on August 1, 2023, in Ahvaz and subsequently transferred to Sheiban Prison.
Masoud Jamei, approximately 47 years old, his wife Zeinab Hezbapour, and their children—Nahid (22), Dalal (20), and Roghayeh (16)—are all residents of Ahvaz.
