He had arms like other thighs and thighs like concrete pillars. Had. Then, on May 26, 2019, the mullah regime in Iran put him in jail. Now, on February 11th, he came out once more – and is no longer recognizable …
Khaled Pirzadeh once weighed 127 kilograms. All pure muscle. His biceps were 53 centimeters in circumference. When he was released, he weighed 59 kilograms less, also due to hunger strikes. He can no longer walk, is dependent on a wheelchair and is physically a shadow of himself.
Hard to believe when you see the bodybuilder performing in Singapore 2018. But the mullahs’ regime has made sure that Khaled will never regain his physical strength.

What did he “crime”? The charges are always the same: “inciting disruption of national security,” “inciting public opinion,” “propaganda once morest the regime,” and “insulting the supreme leader.”
In plain language: It doesn’t matter how severely or subtly he criticized. That he did is enough for the mullahs.
When he was arrested, he was brutally beaten by regime henchmen and continued to be tortured in prison. They broke his knees: two men who were also interrogating him had sat on them. Then supports were pulled away from under his legs. The knees broke, the cruciate ligaments tore. His spine and several intervertebral discs were also broken under torture. As usual, there was no comprehensive medical care. Khaled Pirzadeh told the Iranian human rights magazine Kayhan Life.
Khaled is physically on the ground. But the mullahs might not break his spirit.
► Neither does Farhad Meysami. He has been in jail since 2018 – and only because he had protested once morest the compulsory veiling of women. In the Iranian indictment, this means: violations of “national security”.
He has been on a hunger strike for the past four months. The pictures taken of him on day 91 look awful. The henchmen justify his condition with an intestinal disease, as reported by the Misan news portal. A pathetic excuse. Now he has finally been released from prison.
