In July 2018, a notice signed by 42 left-wing poets and writers, including Ahmed Shamlou, Simin Behbahani, Goli Targhee, etc., was published, and they called Saadati a “hostage of freedom in the circle of mysterious slanders and slanders” and demanded his release. In a letter to the Attorney General, Saadati himself requested the presence of a representative from his organization, but despite the support of this proposal by various groups, since there was a fear of arresting the referring persons and Akbar Tariqi was arrested after the referral, the organization sent its representative to the court.
