The Court of appeal was held for this prison of conscience last year on 11th of December 2016 and the initial sentence of five years of prison was re-affirmed. This Christian convert is due for release from jail in January 2020.
After release from prison he will be exiled to Sarbaz township, one of the most deprived and disadvantaged areas of the Sistan-Baluchestan province.
Right now he along with a group of political inmates has been confined in section 12, cell 4 and barely has access to a phone.
Also well-informed sources have detailed to the Mohabbat news that even if the prison authorities comply with his temporary leave, posting property as bail for Firuzi’s family is impossible.
Last July, Firuzi’s mother, when his son was still in prison, through a video tape message addressing to the officials of the judiciary, highlighted the fact that her inability to see his son was the main cause of her illness, and asked Islamic republic authorities to release his son from jail.
This Christian activist previously on 03-July 2013 detained by Robatkarim City revolutionary court on charges of propagating material against Islamic republic, launching and leading deceptive Christian evangelical organizations, connection with the anti-Islamic revolution elements in abroad, setting up the Christianity internet sites, was sentenced for one year in prison and two years of exile to Sarbaz township, one of the most deprived and disadvantaged areas of the Sistan-Baluchestan province. / Farsi
