Committee of Human Rights Reporters – Blogger Ladan Mostofi Maab was released from prison today, January 2nd, after serving her sentence of 2 years and 6 months behind bars.
Dr. Ladan Mostofi Maab, an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, was detained in 2010 with Hanieh Farshi Shotorban and several other bloggers. These bloggers endured months of interrogations in “temporary detention” in solitary, and cells confined to 2-3 prisoners in Ward 209 of Evin prison before being handed down their sentences. Judge Moghiseh presiding over Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court sentenced Ladan Mostafi Maab to 2 years and 6 months in prison for “insulting the holy” and conducting “web and blogging activities”.
