Women political prisoners in Evin Prison jailed alongside criminals

Committee of Human Rights Reporters
The detainment of political prisoners with other prisoners charged with murder, financial corruption, drug trafficking and other crimes has led to many problems for them.
According to the law, prison officials are obligated to at least provide a separate room for political prisoners but unfortunately female political prisoners are harassed on a daily basis by their cellmates.
According to reports, (political prisoners) have told the head of the women's cellblock, Rezayi, to provide a separate room for them but she has announced that she has been ordered not to do such a thing.
