  This is for a brief up date regarding the closure of the offices and training centres of the Iranian NGO ICTRC in Tehran. 
  I’ve been informed a few days ago that Dr. Sohrab Razzaghi, Executive Director of the ICTRC, has been arrested. He has apparently been transferred to the Evin Prison.
  Members of the ICTRC team are also being interrogated these days in Tehran.
   
  The judiciary has apparently not circulated motivations for the closure of the ICTRC and the arrest of Dr. Razzaghi. 
   
  A number of NGOs are now organising quick pressure and seeking international attention. 
  See for example at http://www.frontlinedefenders.org/node/1199 and in Farsi http://freesohrab.wordpress.com. 
   
  We’ll keep you updated. 
  Best regards, 
   
  Ph
