On 15 April, Behrooz Karimizadeh, one of the founding activists in the Iranian socialist group Freedom and Equality-Seeking Students, paid 300,000 toman (roughly £16,000) to be released. He will need to visit several doctors in order to recover. He is under intense policy control and his telephone is monitored.

We must not forget that three other Freedom and Equality-Seeking Students, Ali Kanturi, Farhad Hajmirzaee and Peyman Piran, are still in prison. The first two in particular are in a bad condition. They need solidarity to secure their release!
