IRAN: Christian labor activist arrested

Hamid Jalilvand, arrested in June 2015 in Iran

Hamid Jalilvand, a labor activist and member of a religious minority group, was arrested in late June after being summoned by security forces.

The Jalilvand family says he was summoned and threatened three months ago for “distributing booklets about Christianity”.

It has been ten days now that his family has no information about his conditions.

Mr. Jalilvand had previously been arrested in 2009 and held in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison.
