Saeed Afkari, brother to the executed wrestling champion Navid Afkari tweeted Sunday that plainclothes agents attacked his family and other civil activists who had gone to the prison to protest the imprisonment of his other two brothers. \u201cToday my family and friends went to protest the 280th day of my brothers in prison. Plainclothes agents attacked my mother, sister, father, aunts and others. They confiscated their phones. My sister and a lady were arrested for a few hours,&quot; Saeed wrote. \u201cMy father was protecting my sister Elham. Agents took my father away and five female agents who wore chadors attacked Elham, handcuffed her and dragged her on the ground into a van. Elham\u2019s neck and arm are injured.
