HRANA News Agency – A judicial case has been opened against Mostafa Mehraeen, a sociologist, at the Culture and Media Prosecutor’s Office in Iran.
According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists in Iran, the case stems from an open letter Mehraeen published, addressing Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.
