On Thursday, September 7, 2023, Abolfazl Pourhosseini, a follower of the Erfan-e-Halgheh spiritual movement residing in Alborz Province, remains imprisoned in Ward 15 of the Central Prison of Karaj. Despite a significant amount of time having passed since his arrest, and after undergoing interrogation and the first court session, he has been deprived of his basic rights as a detainee.

A knowledgeable source reported that Mr. Pourhosseini has been held in temporary detention for three months at the Central Prison of Karaj, without access to medical care. His wife is pregnant and is in a poor emotional state due to his detention, while their three-year-old daughter is also deeply missing her father.

The source further added that Mr. Pourhosseini was severely beaten during his arrest and possibly during interrogation, suffering injuries to his eardrum, testicles, and head and face. He has been denied medical treatment and transfer to a specialized medical center.

It is noteworthy that Abolfazl Pourhosseini was arrested on June 23, 2023, by plainclothes forces (Basij) in the Mohammadshahr area of Karaj, Alborz Province, while distributing protest leaflets. He was severely beaten and initially transferred to the detention center of the Karaj Intelligence Office on Nobovat Street for case processing. After interrogation and being charged with "propaganda against the regime," "assembly and collusion with intent to overthrow the regime," "disturbing public opinion," and "membership in the Erfan-e-Halgheh sect," he was moved to Ward 15 of the Central Prison of Karaj.

Additionally, it was previously scheduled that Abolfazl Pourhosseini would be tried on September 5, 2023, by a judge at the Revolutionary Court in Karaj, Alborz Province, on charges of "propaganda against the regime," "assembly and collusion with intent to overthrow the regime," "disturbing public opinion," and "membership in the Erfan-e-Halgheh sect."
