In an interview with the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, Fatemeh Adinehvand, wife of student activist and political prisoner Abdollah Momeni, expressed surprise for his new summons to court. “The last time I visited Abdollah on Monday, 25 July, he told me that he had been summoned to court the previous week because of his letter to the Supreme Leader, and that his charges include ‘propagating lies’ and ‘creating public anxiety.’”
“Abdollah was so upset. He said that ‘I was asking for justice, now they have answered me this way. Instead of addressing my letter, they have taken me back to court.’ I was also very surprised when I heard this from Abdollah, wondering why instead of investigating this injustice, they have taken my husband to court, accusing him. Regrettably, not only his request for justice was not addressed, but they fabricated a new case against him, calling him a liar in court,” said Adinehvand.
Momeni’s in-person visits have also been reduced since his letter to the Supreme Leader. “Since March 2010, my children and I have only been able to have in-person visits with Mr. Momeni twice. Our last visit in-person visit was last March,” added Adinehvand.
Abdollah Momeni, a former spokesperson for the Daftar-e Tahkim-e Vahdatstudent organization, was arrested following the 2009 election. He was later sentenced to four years and 11 months in prison. Currently he is in Ward 350 of Evin Prison.
