• <coverage-outsourcing id='14730'> Local sources, in a discussion with Iran Prison Atlas, saw part of the “incongruities” as such: the security forces, a short time after the arrest of Amin Raisi (implicated in this case but who had been arrested before the terror attacks) in October 2014 news of his confession was announced, but there were other members of the said armed group were getting on with their lives in their villages. The terror attacks that led to the arrests took place in Nasirabad village, in the place of residence of individuals who are members of an armed group and the military students have been charged. According to the claims of the families of the arrested, these individuals were arrested three days after the assassinations, in their own homes, and had not fled. Also, many of these individuals, were charged repeatedly and extensively charged with acts of terror, were under the surveillance of the Intelligence ministry, and were summoned by the Intelligence ministry on a monthly basis. General Hossein Rahimi, the commander of law enforcement forces in Sistan and Baluchestanclaimed that these individuals were responsible for “90 percent of the menaces of the recent years” in Sistan and Baluchestanprovince. However, since the arrest of these individuals “menaces” have not been, meaningfully, reduced. He also said, “they had committed this murder for the sake of 400 thousand Tomans”,but Tahereh Gahramzehi, Abubakr Mollazehi’s wife, in a letter she sent to international movements for justice, wrote that their family is in a good financial position and the claim that they committed this murder for money,“makes no sense”. In any case, the arrested in this case were initially accused of membership in Jaish Al Adl but later they were charged with membership in “worse than Jaish Al Adl” and finally, that charge was erased. Also, the prisoners were held responsible for acts previously claimed by Jaish Al Adl </coverage-outsourcing>
