- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps detained Siamak Namazi, an Iranian-American businessman in his mid-40s, in October 2015
- The IRGC arrested his father, Baquer Namazi, a former UNICEF official in his early 80s, in February.
- “Siamak Namazi and Mohammad Baquer Namazi have each been sentenced to 10 years prison … for cooperating with the hostile government of America.
An Iranian court has sentenced an Iranian-American businessman and his elderly father to 10 years in prison on charges of cooperating with the United States, the Iranian judiciary's official news website reported on Tuesday.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps detained Siamak Namazi, an Iranian-American businessman in his mid-40s, in October 2015, while he was visiting family in Tehran. The IRGC arrested his father, Baquer Namazi, a former UNICEF official in his early 80s, in February.
“Siamak Namazi and Mohammad Baquer Namazi have each been sentenced to 10 years prison … for cooperating with the hostile government of America,” Mizan website said, citing “an informed source”.
The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the sentences.
Siamak Namazi was most recently working for Crescent Petroleum, an oil and gas company in the United Arab Emirates. He was chosen as a “Young Global Leader” by the World Economic Forum in 2007.
Baquer Namazi, a former Iranian provincial governor, served as UNICEF representative in Somalia, Kenya, Egypt and elsewhere, and for a time ran Hamyaran, an umbrella agency for Iranian non-governmental organisations.
He has a serious heart and other medical conditions requiring special medication, his wife wrote on Facebook in February.

After all the money that our gov.com has given them they insist on bombing our ships and blaming other countries, they want a fight so they can say we started it blow the he’ll out of them and glass all of their pretty sand home and no more crap from them, then Sen the witch Clinto over to live and send her whole family and Obama and his MUSLIM hoes with them too……….?
They are backward, terrorist, extremist bunch of religious freaks!
Iran has always been hostile towards this country. This is left over from the crusades. The president has pandered to and given these people. It’s time for a crusade against the jihad.
Iran has always been hostile and it always be specially with the weak government that we have with Obama as president and God help us if Hillary wins the election.
This country didn’t exist during the Crusades, they couldn’t have been hostile to us then. No doubt they are hostile toward us now, and have been for a very long time, but let’s not go beyond the scope of trality with false or exaggerated statements.
Correction of typo in the last sentence of my previous reply:
“let’s not go beyond the scope of .reality with false or exaggerated statements”.
Iran is pro political Islam group and they are anti-Christian and anti-America.
They have demonized America, but at the same time are very jealous of the American way of life, even though they are not capable of living the American Dream.
