Persian2English – The Iranian authorities have banned Dr. Mohammad Maleki from leaving the country after he wrote a letter to the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed.
The ban notice dated September 10th, which included the Iranian judiciary letterhead, was delivered by the second branch of the Tehran Prosecutor’s assistant to Dr. Maleki’s home on Wednesday morning, according to Jaras. The ban is reportedly separate from Dr. Maleki’s previous imprisonment and trial.
Dr. Maleki, a retired university professor and the first president of the University of Tehran after the Islamic Revolution wrote the letter to Ahmed Shaheed to declare that he is ready to reveal the crimes he has witnessed over the past 32 years in Iran.
