Attack on Hossein Ronaghi's family and his latest situation
An informed source told the Voice of America Persian Service that security forces raided the Ronaghi family home yesterday, November 13, to arrest Hassan Ronaghi, the brother of Hossein Ronaghi, but he managed to escape.
Seyyed Hossein Ronaghi Maleki, born in 1985, is an Iranian human rights activist, civil rights activist, blogger, journalist, and political prisoner. He has an active presence on social media and has a history of being arrested and serving 5 years in prison in the prisons of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Ronaghi was arrested on October 2 during the nationwide protests of 1401 Iran and transferred to Evin Prison. Hossein Ronaghi was tortured in Evin Prison and then went on a hunger strike, which worsened his condition. Hossein Ronaghi was transferred to Dey Hospital on November 12 after his condition deteriorated in prison and he began vomiting blood. A group of people also gathered in front of the hospital in response to his condition. Ali Daei was also among the people who gathered in front of Dey Hospital; but the officers opened fire and fired tear gas to disperse them.
Meanwhile, Hassan Ronaghi, the brother of Hossein Ronaghi, wrote on his Twitter account, explaining his brother's situation: "The Islamic Republic intends to kill my brother Hossein, and this is what caused security forces to violently enter the Ronaghi family home yesterday to arrest Hassan Ronaghi, but Hassan Ronaghi managed to escape."
Hossein Ronaghi was also transferred back to Evin Prison after receiving the necessary medical services and visiting his mother in the hospital.
The Iranian people demanded the release not only of Hossein Ronaghi, but also of all political prisoners who have been held in Evin Prison for a long time in deplorable conditions.
