Eye witnesses have told the Daneshjoo News website that Amin Ahmadiyan, a member of the Tahkim Vahdat student organization was beaten and arrested during the memorial ceremony for Ezzatollah Sahabi, the Iranian scholar, humanitarian, pro-democracy activist, politician, and former parliament member.
Ahmadiyan is the husband of Bahareh Hedayat, the incarcerated spokesperson for Tahkim Vahdat. Hedayat has been behind bars for nearly two years. Following yesterday’s killing of Haleh Sahabi [Ezzatollah Sahabi's daughter] at her father’s funeral service, Ahmadiyan gave interviews to media outlets as an eyewitness to how Haleh Sahabi had been beaten by security and plainclothes forces.
According to reports by Mizan-e-Khabar, members of Mothers for Peace and the Mourning Mothers of Laleh Park were among the people savagely beaten during the funeral. The same report indicates that plainclothes agents brutally attacked citizens who had come to the Hojat-Ben-al-Hassan mosque to pay their respects.
