Last week, while serving his 6 year prison sentence, Mahmoudian was beaten while being transferred by IRGC agents to the IRGC’s Ward 2A at Evin prison. The reasons for this transfer remain undisclosed. According to the same reports, the beatings by baton continued when Mahmoudian arrived at Ward 2A. In addition to being beaten, during his interrogation process, Mahmoudian faced vulgar insults by IRGC agents who threatened him because of the letters he had been writing while in prison.
