RAHANA: Dalir Eskandari is a Sanandaj civil rights activist who was actively involved in the Global Campaign to Save Habibollah Latifi’s Life.
He had also been accepted to a Masters program for the second consecutive year but was deprived of continuing his education. Other “starred” students (students deprived of their education rights) later wrote a letter to the Science Minister in this regard.
He was also one of the administrators of the “Zhianeh Veh” Association in Sanandaj and had been summoned and threatened many times. He was eventually arrested for his activities aimed to halt Habib Latifi’s execution.
After his arrest, he was only able to contact his family for a few seconds and inform them that he was in detention in the Intelligence Ministry.
Many journalists, civil rights and human rights activists, and family members of Habib Latifi who were arrested after the stay of execution are still in detention.
