A student activist has been released after thirty months in prison.
Sources told the Green Voice of Freedom that Mahdieh Golroo was released on Saturday morning from Tehran’s Evin prison.
Golroo is a founding member of The Advocacy Council for the Right to Education (ACRE), was formed in 2008. Previously barred from attending university for her activism, Golroo and her husband Vahid Lalipoor were arrested on 2 December 2009.
After enduring months of solitary confinement, she was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for “propaganda” against the state as well as “collusion and assembly to endanger the national security.”
Also, on 30 October 2010, Branch 28 of Tehran’s Revolutionary Court presided by Judge Moghiseh had previously sentenced Vahid Lalipoor to two years in prison on charges of “propagating against the system” and “assembly and collusion”. Following appeal, the sentence was reduced to a year in prison plus a one-year jail term suspended for four years.
While in prison, Golroo went on hunger strike a number of times to protest the authorities’ refusal to grant her visitation hours.
