Allegations transmitted
Mansour Ossanlu, Head of the Union of Workers
of the Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company,
currently detained at Evin Prison. He was arrested
at his home by police on 22 December 2005 and
eventually released on bail amounting to 1.5
billion Rials on 9 August 2006. When awaiting
trial, he was re-arrested on 19 November 2006,
outside his home by plain clothes members of the
security forces and detained incommunicado at
Evin Prison, Section 209. His family has been
able to visit him once, and his wife was also able
to speak to him when she attended the court
session on 20 November 2006. He is suffering
from a serious eye complaint, but is not receiving
medical treatment in prison. On 26 November
2006, Mr Ossanlu appeared at Branch 14 of the
Revolutionary Court for initial investigations by the
Prosecutor. No specific charges have been laid in
the court. Mr Ossanlu’s lawyer could not attend
the court session, because Mr Ossanlu had not
had access to him. Concern is expressed as to his
state of health and his physical integrity in view of
the reported lack of proper medical treatment of
his eye and also in view of his incommunicado
detention.
