Continued detentions for 10 in Shiraz; two freed « Sen's daily

Continued detentions for 10 in Shiraz; two freed « Sen's daily: "Samira Momtazian and Payam Taslimi ( سمیرا ممتازیان و پیام تسلیمی ), two of the Bahais arrested in Shiraz early on February 3 and 5, have been released on bail of 100 million tumans ($US90,000 / 67,000 euros). There have been concerns about Payam Taslimi’s health in prison, because he has thyroid cancer and requires medical treatment. Samira Momtazian’s name was previously reported as Samitra ( سمیترا ممتازیان ).

Ten other Bahais arrested at the same time remain in prison. The families of those arrested have inquired with all the authorities in Shiraz, and some have gone to Tehran to enquire there. An official at the revolutionary court in Tehran told one of the Bahais, “the Bahais in Iran have no right even to life itself being a Bahai is a crime.”
