RFL/RE – The ministry alleges Miryousef Younesi was involved with the Mujahedin-e Khalq organization, accusing him of being part of a network supplying financial and logistical support to operational teams within Iran. However, the claims have been met with skepticism by rights supporters.
Ali Younesi, along with Amirhossein Moradi, were arrested in April 2020 and held in detention until April 2022, when a court convicted them of sabotaging public facilities, cooperating with opposition groups, and spreading propaganda against the system. They were handed sentences of 10 years, five years, and one year for the alleged offenses.
The cases prompted a wave of protests from students and professors at the Sharif University of Technology where they were enrolled.
In November 2021, Amnesty International said the two detained students had been tortured by Iranian intelligence agents and held “in prolonged solitary confinement in harsh conditions to extract forced confessions.”
Further adding to the family’s ordeal, Aida Younesi, Miryousef’s daughter, reported a week after his arrest that he had been subjected to severe interrogation techniques, including sexual slurs and pressure to admit to unfounded charges.
Highlighting the dire situation of his father, Reza Younesi revealed that his father is suffering from pain and hearing impairment.
