About Behrouz, Sarah Leah Whitson, the Middle East director for Human Rights Watch, wrote: "Behrooz Javid-Tehrani, who is critically ill, is in prison for his peaceful political dissent and his human rights advocacy. He should never have been imprisoned in the first place and he should be released at once or he will likely die in prison." Yet he's spent more than 10 years in prison. He 's been tortured during interrogatories and his healh is really poor. Please, sign and spread this petition to help Behrouz: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/free-behrouz-javid-tehran.html
