Since the case had been quiet for some years, the arrest was unexpected.” The source continued: “Together with his family, he was riding a personal car and leaving the house parking when a city taxi stopped the car. Two agents who were not in uniforms had Mr Parsi get off from the car and, without offering a warrant, put him in handcuffs, had him get on the same taxi and took him to Evin. These security forces even threatened the family to keep the arrest process quiet.” </coverage-outsourcing>
