Few months later, following the order of revolutionary court, all four prisoners acquitted from the allegation.

Now, the prison’s bureau of sentences administration is saying that his name is not on the list. While the arrest order of court was for two months and even supposedly his name is being missed, it is about two years that have passed from the issuance date and he should be released.”
