Ghazi Rabihavi appears in the published endorsement list. No sole authorship or organisational office is attributed to him.
Original English editorial guide to retained collective material. Demands and allegations remain attributed to the document; Rabihavi’s recorded role is a listed endorsement.
An emergency and an exclusion
The introductory report describes emergency prison leave during the spread of coronavirus. The collective statement objects to excluding people accused of national-security offences, particularly those with sentences exceeding five years. It argues that a vaguely defined charge should not determine whose life receives protection during an emergency. Source 1
The appeal names Baktash Abtin, Keyvan Bajan and Reza Khandan Mahabadi in discussing summonses to prison while other prisoners were receiving leave. It asks for leave for writers, journalists, trade-union and civil activists, and for summonses, interrogations and comparable proceedings to stop during the crisis. Its demands are dated to March 2020, rather than offered as present-day medical guidance. Source 1
The statement and the signatory
The retained list names Rabihavi at number 260. HRANA’s introductory account and the collective statement are distinct parts of the republication. His name establishes a listed endorsement of the appeal; it does not identify him as its author, organiser or a member of a particular issuing body. Source 1
