HRANA News Agency – Mohammad Davari, a labor activist serving his sentence in Adelabad Prison, Shiraz, was transferred to an undisclosed location yesterday. According to his defense attorney, this transfer is linked to a letter he wrote yesterday to Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, in which he described torture, threats of sexual violence, and fabricated charges against him in prison.
His lawyer, Fereshteh Tabanian, confirmed the news, stating:
“Following the publication of my client Mohammad Davari’s letter to Mr. Khamenei, he was taken from Adelabad Prison in Shiraz to an unknown location this morning.”
Another defense lawyer, Astareh Ansari, based in Shiraz, has been unable to obtain any information on Davari’s whereabouts despite persistent inquiries.
Details of the Letter
two days ago, Mohammad Davari wrote a letter from prison, detailing torture, threats of sexual assault, and fabricated cases against him. He also accused prison officials of violent treatment, medical negligence, and inhumane conditions for inmates.

Under Article 134 of the Islamic Penal Code, the longest sentence—three years in prison—was enforceable.
