Four months after their arrest, two of his brothers were released but 15 year old Mohammad was held as a hostage in prison and in telephone call to his family, he was forced to say that he would soon be executed.
His family has gone to the intelligence agency, prison and revolutionary court several times in the last four months but was prevented from visiting their son in prison. This has led to serious concerns over him still being alive.
Mohammad has been subjected to pressure and torture to confess on TV and introduce himself and his brother as members of the Jondollah group. (Human Rights Activists in Iran – Sep. 25, 2010)
