Mahsa Amrabadi works for the ' Etemad-Melli and , the media of National Trust Party. The President of the NTP is Mehdi Karoubi, a reformist candidates in the elections of June 12. The wording of ' Etemad-Melli and has been particularly affected by the arrests of recent weeks: among others ended up in jail the editor of the newspaper, Mohammad Ghouchani . Mahsa
Amrabadi is six months pregnant , despite this she was arrested last June 14. It seems that the intelligence agents who have come forward to his house looking at the reality husband Masoud Bastani and, finding none, have taken her.

Update August 24
Mahsa Amrabadi was released today, on payment of deposit ($ 200,000). It gives the news site Mowjcamp.org .
remains in prison, the husband of Amrabadi, Masoud Bastani, which is known to be held in the special arm (the 209) of Evin prison.
Update August 26 For Masoud Bastani is the time of public trial, with annessa "confessione" televisiva ( foto a sinistra ): l'ennesimo scempio di verità e di giustizia di cui le autorità della Repubblica Islamica si sono macchiate. Bastani è stato uno dei principali interpreti della quarta puntata del "processo-farsa", andata in scena a Tehran il 25 agosto. La sua performance si aggiunge alle varie altre di prigionieri costretti con pressioni, minacce e torture a contribuire al teorema confezionato dal grande architetto del processo, il procuratore generale di Tehran Saeed Mortazavi: le proteste contro i risultati elettorali del 12 giugno - secondo l'accusa - non sarebbero frutto di uno spontaneo moto popolare, ma di una rivoluzione "di velluto" (così la chiamano le autorità iraniane) carefully planned and time by the enemies of Iran in collaboration with Western politicians, journalists and various members of civil society, which allegedly plotting against their country, putting at risk the security of Iran.
In particular Bastani - returns the official news agency IRNA - read out in court with a statement of "confession" as follows: the preparation of the site www.jomhouriyat.com was a real " central and strategic "in which, with the encouragement of Mehdi Hashemi-Rafsanjani (pictured right ), is planning an attack against President Ahmadinejad and the major institutions of the Islamic Republic (The Guardian Council the Basij militia, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard , the police). Even more important: the wording in misleadingly created doubts over the election results, to that end to polls and statistics. All this Masoud Bastani says he has worked in collaboration with Mr Hamzeh Karami, who was also on trial and, like him, "self-confessed". 13 political prisoners in Iran: Mohammad Maleki
