The tortures and executions that took place in the eighties were only the beginning of such violations.  These violations were exacerbated during the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and reached a climax in the aftermath of public protests to the tenth presidential election. During this suppressive period, hundreds of students, women’s right activists, workers, human rights activists, and politicians were arrested and imprisoned. All of these groups were condemned to heavy sentences and many people had to go through long prison terms and flee the country.   reports - reports Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:29:28 +0100 http://ayahra.org/en//content/view/165/26/ Washington August 24, 2010   Freedom House is deeply concerned for the life of Iranian human rights activist, Shiva Nazar Ahari, who is scheduled to be tried on fraudulent charges before the Revolutionary Court in Iran on September 4, and demands the Iranian government release her immediately.
