    Sari has a tradition of opression since they killed the followers of the Bab in that vicinity. Generation by generation the opressors of that city have taught their evil deeds to the next generation. Very strange how human beeings can loose their minds and to such irrational crimes . Perhaps this courageous lady has still some possessions which they can steal ithe name of a bail. what a shame for Iran.

    One of the readers of the site, provided the following info:

    On Tuesday evening, July 28, nine agents of the Ministry of Intelligence raided the home of Vesal Yusufi, 38, of Mahforouzak village and without presenting warrants, searched her residence while speaking profane language and being most disrespect. After a few hours and confiscation of religious books and pictures, they arrested Mrs. Yusufi. Despite her brother’s insistence that agents show an arrest warrant, the men refused and took her to an undisclosed location. A week later, on Tuesday August 4, the Intelligence agents revisited the Yusufi home and presented a summons warrant for Payam Yusufi, 18, the son of the aforementioned Baha’i woman. However, since the son was not at home, they had his aunt sign a statement that he would be brought to the Ministry the following day. No further information is available on the fate of Mrs. Yusufi or her son.
