Esmeel Abdi's speech from the Teachers' Trade Association and former political prisoner at the Global Action April Conference is considered as his being free.

Ismail Abdi, a member of the Tehran Teachers' Trade Association, has been imprisoned for nearly 9 years.

This imprisoned teacher was born on July 19, 1974. He is an official mathematics teacher with a bachelor's degree and 22 years of teaching experience.

Ismail Abdi has been repeatedly arrested and released since 2006 due to his trade union activities until May 19, 2010, when he was arrested by the Ministry of Intelligence following an indictment issued by the judge of Branch One of Islamshahr with an illegal judicial mandate. After his house was searched, his personal belongings were confiscated. He spent 34 days in solitary confinement and 11 days in the general ward until he was released on bail. In 2011, the Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Pir Abbasi, sentenced this freedom-loving teacher to ten years in prison, with a five-year suspension.

On June 27, 2015, when Ismail visited the Evin Prosecutor's Office to inquire about his travel ban, he was arrested and, after six months, was sentenced by Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Salavati, to five years in prison on charges of propaganda against the regime and assembly and collusion.

His five-year prison sentence ended in April 2020, but at that time, the judiciary enforced Abdi's suspended sentence due to his participation in teachers' protests in 2010 to keep him in prison.

In March 2023, Abdi said: "In April 2020, my five-year prison term was supposed to end. But instead of being released, the suspended charge from my 2010 case was activated, and I was sent back to prison. Since then, I have been in my second term of imprisonment for about two and a half years. The same ten-year sentence that had a five-year suspension."

Abdi has been imprisoned for over eight years and has gone on hunger strikes multiple times in protest of his situation.

Former cellmates have spoken extensively about Ismail's character in prison: "Ismail is not just a trade union activist; he is a person committed to individual, ethical, and political principles who has been victimized by the case-building of security agencies that prevent his release from prison. Ismail Abdi's resistance against the security agencies has caused their animosity towards him."

اسماعیل عبدی، عضو کانون صنفی معلمان تهران را نزدیک به ۹ سال است در زندان حبس کرده اند.

این معلم زندانی متولد ۲۸ تیر ۱۳۵۳ است، او دبیر رسمی آموزش و پرورش با مدرک کارشناسی ریاضی و ۲۲ سال سابقه تدریس است.

اسماعیل عبدی، از سال ۱۳۸۵ به دلیل فعالیت های صنفی به طور مکرر و به دفعات دستگیر و آزاد شده است تا اینکه در ۲۹ اردیبهشت ۱۳۸۹ توسط وزارت اطلاعات با صدور قرار مجرمیت توسط قاضی شعبه یک اسلامشهر با نیابت قضایی غیرقانونی دستگیر و پس از تفتیش خانه اش وسایل شخصی وی ضبط می شود، او ۳۴ روز در انفرادی و ۱۱ روز در بند عمومی می ماند تا اینکه با وثیقه آزاد و در سال ۹۰ دادگاه انقلاب با ریاست قاضی پیرعباسی، برای این معلم آزادی خواه حکم ده سال زندان که به مدت ۵ سال قابل تعلیق است، رای صادر می کند.

روز ۶ تیر ۱۳۹۴ وقتی اسماعیل برای علت ممنوع الخروجی خود به دادسرای اوین مراجعه کرده بود، بازداشت و پس از گذشت ۶ ماه توسط شعبه ۱۵ دادگاه انقلاب به ریاست قاضی صلواتی به ۵ سال حبس با اتهامات تبلیغ علیه نظام و اجتماع و تبانی محکوم می شود.

حکم پنج سال حبس او در اردیبهشت ۱۳۹۹ پایان پذیرفت اما همان زمان دستگاه قضایی حکم حبس تعلیقی عبدی را به دلیل شرکت در اعتراضات معلمان در سال ۱۳۸۹ اجرایی کرد تا او را در زندان نگه دارد.

در اسفندماه سال ۱۴۰۱، عبدی در این باره گفت:
«در اردیبهشت سال ۹۹ موعد حبس پنج ساله من پایان می گرفت. اما به جای اینکه آزاد شوم، اتهام تعلیقی پرونده سال ۸۹ من به جریان افتاد و دوباره راهی زندان شدم. از آن تاریخ تا به امروز حدود دو سال و نیم است که در حبس دوم به سر می برم. همان حبس ۱۰ ساله ای که پنج سال تعلیق شده بود.»

عبدی بیش از هشت سال است در زندان حبس شده و بارها در اعتراض به وضعیت خود اعتصاب غذا کرده است.

هم بندی های سابق اسماعیل درباره منش او در زندان بسیار گفته اند: «اسماعیل تنها یک فعال صنفی نیست، او فردی پایبند به اصول فردی، اخلاقی و سیاسی است که قربانی پرونده سازی نهادهای امنیتی است که مانع آزادیش از زندان می شوند، ایستادگی اسماعیل عبدی در مقابل نهادهای امنیتی موجب کینه توزی آنها نسبت به او شده است.»
