These two Bahai’s name are Tarazolah ( Zia ) Alahverdi and Ms. Sonia Tabiyanian. There situation is unknown and are still in the detention centre of the Ministry of Information in the city of Sari .

Also Mr. Siamak Ebrahimi another Bahai from the city of Tonekabon is arrested on November 4 / 08 and the court of the Islamic Republic has sentenced him to six months imprisonment and two years internal exile to the city of Zabol . Two years ago Mr. Ebrahimi was arrested but released by bail.
