The defence team warns against disrupting the paper documents of journalist Mohammad Yousefi

The defence team warned the detained journalist Mohamed Yousefi of an administrative disruption preventing him from releasing scientific documents for his dissertation project from Mornaguia prison.

The agency found that this action hampered his academic path and disrupted his legal rights to continue his studies from within his detention facility.

In an official statement, the agency confirmed that the Mornaguia prison administration refuses to refer its thesis plan and report to the relevant academic bodies. This refusal came despite all the legal requirements for completing the university file being made in the officially designated areas for registration and further research.

The defence team had warned, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, that continuing to disrupt the extraction of PhD project documents from Mornaguia's civil prison threatens to deprive Yousef of completing university tuition procedures in specified fields.

The defence team explained that they had taken all the legal and administrative steps necessary to complete this step without finding any response from the prison administration. She stressed that the continued detention of these documents puts the researcher at real risk for his university future and the possibility of deprivation of his legal education rights.
