The home of Pedram Rafati, the student forbidden to attend Amir Kabir University, was raided by security agents yesterday and today.
According to Student News, plainclothes officers intended to arrest Pedram Rafati only to come out empty-handed as their target was not present at the time.
Pedram Rafati Oskoui has been charged with participating in the June 2009 protests and sentenced to two years in prison. He is in danger of being arrested by security agents and taken to prison.
This former Amir Kabir mechanical engineering student was arrested once in 2007 by the Ministry of Intelligence and arrested again by the IRGC after the June 15, 2009, protests.
At the 15th Circuit Revolutionary Court, presided by Judge Salavati, Rafati was sentenced to two years in prison. This verdict was approved for review at the 54th Circuit.
Having been summoned to prison by Evin Circle, agents carrying out the verdict illegally went to his home intending to arrest him. This act further increases the possibility of him being arrested again due to security charges and opening a new case against him, which would consequently bear a much heavier sentence.
Before, on February 11, 2010, plainclothes officers raided the home of Pedram’s father, intending to make an arrest, only to find the place empty.
