He has been detained along with his brother on the charge of hijacking and disturbing to flight safety on 2001.  He was finally convicted to 22 years imprisonment.

Rasoul had written in the part of his hardship; �I was sentenced to 22 years imprisonment for passing excruciating condition months in solitary confinement of Intelligence Service. Judge of branch 20 of Revolutionary Court had sneered and said; you will figure out after losing your teeth and hair in prison when I asked him what was my guilty? I had passed 15 years, the best days of youth in prison. Officials reject my pleading letter to asking for health release or freeness.�
