Five days ago, the homes of supporters of dissident and imprisoned cleric Seyed Hossein Kazemeyni Boroujerdi were attacked and six people arrested. No information about their whereabouts or fate is known. A source close to Boroujerdi told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that on the afternoon of Monday, 8 November 2010, security forces went to the homes of several of his supporters. Forces stormed and searched the homes, destroying furniture, and taking away personal documents, cash, precious objects, computers, and laptops belonging to the individuals and their families.
