Twenty year old Zanyar Moradi was reportedly arrested on August 2, 2009. Nine months after his arrest, he was charged with assassination of the son of a cleric. Sources have reported that Moradi has been subjected to torture in prison and is suffering from serious health problems as a result of the torture. He has reportedly been denied access to medical care in prison. Zanyar Moradi’s father, a former Komala party activist living in Iraqi Kurdistan, told the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center that he believes his son was arrested as retaliation for his father’s activities with Komala.
