Mostafa Mir Ebrahimi, 23, dies in prison after 6 months with no explanation

Mostafa Mir Ebrahimi 23

The tragedies in Iran keep mounting.

Mostafa Mir Ebrahimi was 22 years old when he went to visit the grave of Neda Agha-Soltan, the young woman shot in the streets of Tehran.

He was arrested and taken to a secret location. His friends told his family who searched for him without success.

He was not charged with a crime nor did he stand trial. His name didn’t show up on the long list of detainees.

Somehow, he died in prison without explanation.

His father was informed of his death but told the body would not be given back to the family. The government apparently has buried the body and will tell the family the grave site later. From Persian2English
