Zahra Jabari,
a woman prisoner in danger of ill-health

Amnesty International
UK Blogs, 27 March 2010 - According to reports by human rights activists in
iran, prisoner of conscious, Ms Zahra Jabari is suffering from heart problems
and acute rheumatism and is hardly able to walk without aid. Medical authorities
in prison have refused to treat her on the grounds that they lack proper
facilities and the Evin interrogators have refused her transfer to a medical
centre where she can receive proper care which her family have undertaken to
pay.
Zahra Jabari, 36 married with a child was arrested on 17 September and
taken to solitary in Evin. She was tortured so badly that one of her
finger-nails fell. The interrogators were pressing her to ’confess’ and have
even refused her family bring her fresh clothes or any visitation.

She
is still wearing the same clothes she was wearing 6 months ago when arrested. Ms
Jabari appeared at the revolutionary counrt 28 on 12 March, handcuffed. Her
family members were not allowed to be present. She was expected to be questioned
by Mohammed Moghiseh also known as Naserian who was a member of the Commission
which approved the massacre of 1988 political prisoners. The ’judge’ did not
show up and the court was delayed without a set date for the next time. Ms
jabari’s atorney managed to get hold of her file and said there was nothing in
the file except that Ms jabari’s brother and sister reside in Camp Ashraf in
Iraq, where the anti-government group, Mojahedin Khalq live. This prisoner has
been badly tortured and has spent long time in solitary and with her medical
condition worsening and her life in danger her family and human rights activists
urge the international community to raise their voices against the brutal
treatment of political prisoners in Iran especially Ms Jabari and many others
like her.
