70 days after the arrest and detention of Hafez Abdulrahim Kuhi and despite the fact that his family travelled to the city of Zahedan, southeast Iran, to visit him, once again Iranian authorities banned them from seeing their son.

He has been told his son’s court case has not been completed and he cannot visit him in prison.
