According to various accounts, Iranian security agents detained Ziya Sadr, an Iranian Bitcoin supporter, last month.
Sadr's buddy, Nima Yazdanmehr, told CoinDesk that Sadr was arrested on the streets of Tehran on September 19 and that he has not been freed. The arrest happened during huge anti-government rallies for the state-sanctioned execution of Mahsa Amini, 22.
Sadr is a well-known Bitcoin lecturer and YouTuber, as well as a supporter of the technology. He has translated Bitcoin information into Farsi and pushed ways to utilize Bitcoin for personal transactions that are more private.
According to Yazdanmehr, Sadr is now being imprisoned at Fashafouyeh Prison and maintains touch with his family and close friends.
