Neshan Saiedi, a Christian convert Arab in Khuzestan, was temporarily released on October 13, 2010 on a 250 million toman (about 250,000 dollar) bail after spending close to 70 days in a solitary cell.
According to reports, Saiedi was arrested by plainclothes agents from the Intelligence Agency on July 24 in his home in Golestan Koy in Ahwaz along with his wife and 6 year old daughter. His wife was released in the middle of the night after undergoing prolonged interrogations along with her daughter. But Saiedi, 37, was detained for two months in a solitary cell in the Revolutionary Guards Corps Intelligence Agency in Ahwaz known as the Chaharshir Detention Center.
He was only allowed a one minute distant visit with his wife on September 15 and a 5 minute phone call with her afterwards. In this telephone call, he said that he was treated well by the detention agents but did not explain why as his wife had witnessed from a distance, his hand was broken and in a cast. He said that agents wanted information regarding the church pastors and that they have put him under pressure in this regard.
Agents threatened Neshan Saiedi’s wife that if she talks about what she saw and heard in this visit, she and her daughter would be in trouble and she would never see her husband again. These agents also told her that she was not to get a lawyer for her husband.
Saiedi was kept in detention for a long time in a state of limbo without being charged and was interrogated on several occasions by security forces. His broken hand was apparently the result of these interrogations.
He was accused of having communications with Israel and Britain, apostasy, annunciating Zionist Christianity in Iran, diverting Muslims, baptizing Muslims who had converted to Christianity, holding illegal gatherings in his home and even secessionism for Khuzestan’s Arabs.
This Christian man denied all the accusations and said that he was in no way involved in any political and illegal activities and was only holding religious ceremonies with a number of his fellow Christians.
Agents have told this Christian convert that until his trial or until he is once again summoned, he cannot leave his home and his wife, Mrs. Entezar, has to go to the Revolutionary Guards Corps Intelligence Agency in Chaharshir Ahwaz at a specific time everyday to sign in. Before this, they were banned from registering their daughter in school and were told that she has to be registered as a Muslim and if they want to sign her in as a Christian, they have to get a court confirmation.

New false charges brought against political prisoner as an excuse for longer jail term
Dec. 12, 2010
On Sunday, December 12, political prisoner Arjang Davoudi was taken to the 6th branch of the Revolutionary Court and the head of his court branch, Mohammadyari, accused him of strange and false charges. This court, which started in the morning continued to about 3 pm in the Karaj Revolutionary Court.
Some of the charges made against Davoudi include, ‘acting against national security, instigating public opinion against the government by way of websites and foreign media and insulting government officials’. Mohammadyari also told Davoudi that he would sentence him to another 15 years of prison so that ‘he would stay in prison for life’.
This is while Davoudi has already been jailed for 8 years and has been under the most severe pressure, torture and abuse. One has to ask intelligence interrogators who act under the guise of judges how someone who is jailed and under control can act against the government, insult officials or instigate public opinion by way of websites and foreign media from prison?
