Dissident Cleric Ayatollah Boroujerdi May Face Exile

July 3, 2010
Officials of Special Clerics Court have threatened to exile dissident cleric Ayatollah Boroujerdi to a remote and abandoned location lacking any type of communication means.
RAHANA- The current threat came after two recent letters that Ayatollah Hossein Kazemeini Boroujerdi had written in Evin were published outside this prison. In these letters, he had criticized country’s current situation and called on “separation of religion and state”.
Reports received by RAHANA indicate no information about the probable location to which this imprisoned cleric may be exiled.
Dissident cleric Hossein Kazemaini Boroujerdi was arrested in 2007 and sentenced to 10 years in prison and confiscation of property. He is currently confined in Evin prison
