Gooya news online reporting from Persian Voice of Radio Germany ( DW ) :

The radio had an interview with Masumeh Shafiei ( wife of Akbar Ganji ) , in the interview she said :
I think something might have happened that they have cancelled our visiting with Ganji !

It is now 85 days that Akbar Ganji the journalist and writer critical to Islamic Republic of Iran, is in solitary confinement in prison.......the first time she sent a complaint to judiciary power against Tehrans public prosecutor was when ganji was beaten while in Milad hospital , now for the 2nd time again she has sent a complaint against the team of public prosecutor for banning her visit to her husband..........The last time i visited him was 10 days ago, his physical condition was still not good, he was like skin , bone and skeleton , his blood pressure was low and his body was cold, he is being kept in a solitary confinement.... the place is cold and he is not being looked by medical team and not feed well,he does not have any visitation, even this last 3-4 days when they told us that we can visit him , we went to the prison , they kept us for one hour and then they told us we can't visit him, so we think that something might have happened that they cancelled our visitation........last time when he came to a short leave from prison was 6 months ago.......during this 6 months he have only seen his lawyer for once.......the children are very disappointed.....Ganjis mom is worried.....i hope this situation will end so that he can come home for treatment...... It is now 2 month have left to the end of his 6 years sentence...........When Ganji was in the hospital they have threatened him that : "You can not scape alive from our hands, we will kill you anyway, now either we will do it ourselves or our friends outside the prison , same thing we did with Saeed Hajarian( they assassinated him, but he survived ) ." ........ we have sent our complaint to the head of judiciary power ( Mr. Shahrudi) but up to now no response from him......... legaly Ganjis sentencing will end until the end of current Iranian year ( 3rd week of March) , this means that he must be released from prison......Last time Mr. Mortazavi the public prosecutor have said that his prison term will end on the first day of Iranian new year ( March 21st , 2006) , this is what he have said..............Mr. Mortazavi have also said that this is the policy of the system that you will remain in prison unless you take back what you have said , we will keep you in prison with another charges even if your prison term will end.................
