Regime’s vicious obstruction in releasing student leader Ahmad Batebi on agreed bail

Iran Press News: The students’ committee of human rights reporters announced that due to the regime’s typical vicious obstructionism, student leader Ahmad Batebi who had been re-arrested on July 29th, remains in prison, despite a bail agreement that should have been posted for a 48 hour furlough.

On Monday morning, October 9th, the Batebi family appeared in court to consign a $45,000 bail however at the least minute the Mullah judge decided to change the bail amount to $120,000. The judge knew full well that the Batebi family could not afford such a sum and would never be able to meet this demand.

Ahmad Batebi has spent 70 days, since his re-arrest in solitary confinement in the infamous ward 209 of Evin prison which is controlled by the most notorious torturers and interogators of the ministry of intelligence and security.
