Wife And Daughters Of A Dissident Cleric Arrested
By the order of the Special Clerical Court, the wife and two daughters of Mohammad Hedayati, dissident cleric, were arrested while returning from Najaf.
Mohammad Hedayati is the chairman of the Traditional Clerics Association and resides in the United States. He has close ties to Ayatollah Sadegh Shirazi, one of the regime's and supreme leader's most vocal critics among the Shia clergy.
His wife and three and five-year-old daughters are supposed to be transferred to Dastgerd prison in Isfahan and then to Evin prison in Tehran.
His three-year-old daughter, Hanieh, is diabetic and requires insulin shots after meals.
Arresting family members of high-level dissidents is a common practice by the Islamic Republic.
