One of the professors of the Free Isfahan University who will remain anonymous (for security reasons) has been temporarily released from prison after being physically and mentally tortured in detention.

After paying a 150 million toman (150,000 dollar) bail, he was temporarily released until his trial. Some of the charges made against him were acting against national security, creating anxiety for the public, disrupting the order of the university and cooperating with foreign elements.
