Hossein Ronaghi, a civil rights activist in Iran, has been holding sit-ins across Tehran with his lips sewn shut in solidarity with the demands of Kianoush Sanjari, another outspoken government critic and former journalist who jumped to his death from a building earlier this month in protest against Iran’s authoritarian rulers. Ronaghi was once again arrested by agents of the Islamic Republic\’s intelligence forces on Sunday but was later released. He said he planned to hold another protest outside Tehran’s Evin Prison, which has long been used to hold political prisoners.
