Currently he is being held in section 209 of Evin Prison. There are no updates on his condition.

The family of political activist Yashar Akbari has expressed concern over his current situation. After leaving his home on December 29, 2009, Yashar Akbari has not returned. His family’s efforts to get information on his whereabouts have been unsuccessful. Considering the wave of arrests of political and civil activists, the probability of him also being detained is high.
