The family of the former Iranian president, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, demanded the release of his daughter, Faezeh, who was arrested by the authorities last September on charges of incitement to protest.
The Jamaran website, affiliated with the office of the first Supreme Leader Khomeini, reported that the family said they were pressured by the "accusation" of being the sons of Rafsanjani, adding that it was possible to solve the situation by releasing women from political prisons, including their sister Faezeh.
