On Wednesday morning, 01 October, 2014,Kazemeyni Boroujerdi, a Political Prisoner at Evin Prison (Iran) has been transferred to an unknown location and no information is available about his condition yet. He advocates the separation of religion and government and has been imprisoned several times by the Iranian government.

He reportedly first expressed his opposition to the theocratic nature of the Islamic government of Iran under which Islamic jurists rule or provide "guardianship" in 1994. He has been quoted as saying Iranians "are loyal to the fundamentals of the true religion and the Prophet's mission", but are "tired of the religion of politics and political slogans."

Boroujerdi and many of his followers were arrested in Tehran on October 8, 2006, following a clash between police and hundreds of his followers. Iranian officials charged him with having claimed to be a representative of Muhammad al-Mahdi, a venerated figure in Shi'i Islam, a charge he denies.

There are rumors that the Islamic regime could execute this political prisoner soon. (sources: Wikipedia, Human Rights Activists News Agency ).
