An informed source told Iran Human Rights: “Mohammad Jafar had been behind bars for carrying drugs for around four years. Mohammad Jafar and his brother-in-law were arrested for carrying methamphetamine and heroine but his brother-in-law received a ten-year prison sentence as a secondary defendant in the case.”
