Iran Releases Head of Reform Front on Bail
Azar Mansouri, head of the Reform Front of Iran, has been released on bail after detention during recent government actions against opposition figures.
Judicial sources stated the release followed legal procedures allowing temporary freedom pending further investigation, though authorities have not publicly detailed possible charges. The report by ISNA, citing judicial authorities, confirmed the release on Saturday after days of uncertainty surrounding the detention.
Lawyer Hojjat Kermani said those freed include reformist leader Azar Mansouri, political activist Javad Emam, and veteran figure Ebrahim Asgharzadeh. Kermani added that authorities have not informed the defense team about possible charges, leaving uncertainty about further legal action.
The releases come amid authorities' continued efforts to contain widespread unrest through mass arrests and security measures following months of nationwide protests. US-based rights monitor HRANA reports tens of thousands of arrests during the recent unrest, with casualty figures drawing international concern.
