Security forces arrested Jamshidi during a protest rally held by families of the poisoned schoolgirls outside the education ministry office in Kermanshah on 4 March and took him to a security detention centre in the city.
Plainclothes and security forces attacked and beat the demonstrators, some of whom were arrested.
After two days of interrogation, he was transferred to the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office in Kermanshah and then sent to Dizel Abad Prison under a temporary detention order.
