    Khatami’s Deputy and Advisor in Jail
    The house to house arrests that followed Monday’s massive demonstrations against the June 12 elections, announced results and coup perpetrators continue on a daily basis as more activists, political personalities and journalists are detained by security forces and thrown into jail.

    Saeed Hajjarian, former President Khatami’s political aide who was shot and permanently maimed in 2001 and lives his life on a wheelchair, was among those arrested in the last few days.

    Mohammad Ali Abtahi, Khatami’s deputy during his presidency is also among the detainees. Mohsen Aminzadeh, the deputy foreign minister in Khatami’s administration, Mohammad Atrianfar, a leadership member of the Kargozaran Sazandeghi party, the prominent Abdolfatah Soltani a founding member of the Center for the Defense of Human Rights, Ibrahim Yazdi, the secretary general of the Nehzat Azadi Iran (Freedom Movement of Iran), and Mohammad Tavasoli, the director of the political office of the Freedom Movement, were also arrested on Tuesday.

Another member, Hamed Iranshahi from Daneshamookhtegan also is reported to have been detained and imprisoned.

    Security agents are also reported to have arrested Saeedalah Bedashti, journalist and political activist on Monday.

    No confirmations and verifications can be made regarding the arrests that have been reported to have taken place in other cities and towns in Iran because of disrupted telephone, Internet or other communications services.

    News reports from Tabriz indicate that a group of medical doctors and activists close to the Freedom Movement and to the opposition known as the National-Religious group who have been protesting the outcome of the June 12 presidential election and held peaceful rallies in front of Shams Hospital were violently attacked by the police and were detained by it.
