RAHANA: Siavash Hatami is a student activist and the former secretary of Muslim Student Association at the Hamedan Bou Ali Sina University who was arrested following last year’s post-election protests and later released on bail.

According to DaneshjouNews, he was transferred to the Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran by the Bou Ali Sina University officials upon the request of the security forces.

According to sources close to him, he was arrested by the Intelligence Ministry authorities in the middle of one of his exams in Shahid Beheshti University. The authorities then took him to his house and confiscated his computer and personal belongings after searching his house. He has then been transferred to an undisclosed location and the Intelligence Ministry authorities have told his family that “asking several questions” is the reason for his arrest.
