Iranian journalist Ahmad Zeidabadi banished to exile

The Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reports that the cost of traveling to Gonabad and living there must be paid by Zeidabadi. Gonabad is located in Khorasan Razavi Province in northeastern Iran.


Zeidabadi was head of the Iranian alumni activist group Tahkim-e Vahdat and was arrested in June of 2009 during the crackdown on progressive figures that followed that year's controversial presidential election, which was challenged by reformist candidates and mass protests.

Zeidabadi was sentenced to six years in jail, five years in exile to Gonabad and a lifetime ban from political and media activities.
