Iranian authorities on Thursday detained family members of an imprisoned documentary filmmaker after they showed up outside a Tehran prison to inquire about his reportedly failing health, an opposition website said.
Kaleme.com said filmmaker Mohammad Nourizad's wife, son, two daughters, parents and brothers were in custody after being picked up outside Evin prison, where Nourizad is serving a three-and-a-half-year sentence for spreading propaganda against the government and insulting Iran's leaders. (AP)
