Mashhad (literally, "the place of martyrdom") is the second largest city in Iran and one of the holiest cities in the Shia Muslim world.
15 July 2010 [24 Tir 1389]
HRANA News – Two Baha'i citizens, residing in Mashad, have been arrested in order to carry out their court order for prison [sentences].
HRANA reports that Nassrin Ghadiri and Sima Rajabian, who had been previously (2005) sentenced by the Khorasan Province Razavi Review Court to a 2-year limited prison [sentence], on 15 July 2010 introduced themselves to the Circle of Court Order Implementation, were [summarily] arrested and [then] transferred to the Vakil Abad prison in Mashhad.
The files of these two Baha'i citizens, related to their arrest in [2005], had been declared closed. But in keeping with [the increased persecution] on Baha'is [over the past year] the files of these two, along with seven other Baha'is, have [lately been reopened]. These 9 Baha'i citizens had been sentenced to 2 to 5 years of punitive imprisonment by the Mashad Revolutionary Court.
[Out of] these 9 Baha'is, [two], Nahid Ghadiri and Davar Nabilzadeh, have so far been transferred to Vakil Abad Prison in Mashad [to serve] their 5-year prison sentences."
