According to reports, severe water pollution in Gohardasht Prison has led to the spread of various illnesses which seriously threatens the lives of prisoners.
From March 11, the drinking water of section 1 and 4 in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj became extremely polluted which has rendered the water undrinkable. The color of the water is a turbid greenish color with a very bad odor and because of the high amount of chlorine in the water, it tastes and smells very bad and is unusable. Defenseless prisoners are forced to use this water because it has been polluted for a long time which has led to various illnesses. A number of prisoners suffer from headaches and stomach aches and other digestive problems.
The water in the pipes of various sections in prison is so polluted that those who use it to bathe have come down with side effects such as rashes and severe itches.
From three days ago, the water was cut off in these sections and prisoners only have water for 1 or 2 hours a day and have been deprived of even the polluted water.
