Rasoul wrote in the part of his hardship; I was sentenced to 22 years imprisonment after passing excruciating condition months in solitary confinement of Intelligence Service. Judge of 20 branch of Revolutionary Court had sneered and said; you will figure out after losing your teeth and hair in prison when I asked him what is my guilty?
