The father of Washington Institute Senior Fellow Mehdi Khalaji has reportedly been moved to Evin Prison. From WINEP's media desk:
Officials of the Special Court of Clerics in Tehran have transferred Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Khalaji to solitary confinement in Evin Prison, where he is being interrogated. The Special Court informed Ayatollah Khalaji's family not to expect any contact with him until the interrogation is over; no timetable was provided. In addition, it is now known that Iranian intelligence agents raided the ayatollah's daughter's house three nights after his arrest, confiscating personal documents and warning the family that they too will be arrested if they contact the media outside Iran.
