Jailed female journalist -Nazanin Khosrovani-banned from visits

International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran

An informed source said that the family of jailed journalist Nazanin Khosrovani, who had gone to prison to visit her, was told that she is banned from visits. Agents refused to give further explanations about why this prisoner of conscience was banned from visits.
Khosrovani was arrested on November 2, 2010 in her home by security forces and has only called her family once since her arrest. Officials have not said why she was arrested and what she has been charged with. Nazanin Khosravani was not involved in any media activities after the elections and according to her friends she did not have any media or political activities. Her arrest and lack of knowledge about her condition after her arrest has surprised her former colleagues.

Some time ago prison guards raided cellblock 4 along with two dogs and searched the belongings of political prisoners in hall 10 in this prison.
Rajayi Shahr Prison is used by security officials to send political prisoners (to as punishment) because of its unsuitable conditions. This prison which is known as the ‘center of exile for political prisoners’ is used to put pressure on political prisoner because of its unsuitable sanitary conditions, detaining political prisoners with methadone prisoners, prisoners who inject drugs, troublemakers and drug addicts who have been arrested on the streets and those who are psychologically ill in one cellblock, the systematic beating of prisoners, limitations in in-person visits and the lack of medical services.

No news on condition of political prisoner after he was thrown in solitary

There has been no news on the condition of political prisoner Mohammad-Ali Mansouri, three weeks after he was thrown in a solitary cell in cellblock 1 in Gohardasht Prison known as the ‘doghouse’.
Mansouri was summoned along with a number of political prisoners to the Intelligence Unit in prison after singing the banned national anthem when a prisoner was being released from prison. After long interrogations, he was transferred by the head of the Intelligence Unit, Faraji, to a solitary cell in the doghouse.
His family has gone to the Revolutionary Court, Prison Organizations and Gohardasht Prison several times but has not been given any answers on the condition of their loved one. This has led to serious concerns for his family. Prisoners who are transferred to cellblock 1 are subjected to severe physical torture including being beaten with electric batons while handcuffed, being subjected to electric shocks and being tortured with other tools for a prolonged amount of time which usually leads to broken legs and hands. Cells in this section lack minimum facilities and prisoners have to sleep on the ground. Guards wet the ground day and night to prevent the prisoner from sleeping on the ground and to subject the prisoner to extreme cold. Prisoners are allowed to bathe only once every few weeks and to use the bathroom three times a day. The amount of food given to prisoners is only enough to live on and the sanitary conditions are appalling. Ailing prisoners are banned from taking their medicine and are denied minimum medical treatment.
Political prisoner Mohammad-Ali Mansouri was arrested in September 2007 after participating in the 19th anniversary of the massacre of political prisoners in 1988 and was sentenced to 17 years of prison by Judge Salavati. He was sentenced to spend his prison time in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj. He was also a political prisoner in the 80’s. (Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran

Religious freedom deteriorates in Iran: US

AFP


The US government said Wednesday that respect for religious freedom deteriorated in Afghanistan and Iran while China and Indonesia earned mixed scorecards.
In its report on international religious freedom for the last year, the US State Department also raised sharp complaints about Myanmar and North Korea as well as US allies Egypt and Saudi Arabia…
The report said 'government respect for religious freedom continued to deteriorate in Iran, with which the US government is locked in a showdown over its nuclear ambitions and human rights.
‘The government severely restricted freedom of religion and reports of government imprisonment, harassment, intimidation, and discrimination based on religious beliefs continued during the reporting period,' the report said.
Iranian Muslims who were not from the majority Shiite group faced 'substantial societal discrimination,' it said.
‘And government rhetoric and actions created a threatening atmosphere for nearly all non-Shia religious groups, most notably Bahais, as well as Sufi Muslims, evangelical Christians, members of the Jewish community,' it said.

Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran

According to reports, Mehri Javan Mahjoub, who was a former political prisoner in the 80’s and is the wife of political prisoner Abedi Ba Khoda was arrested yesterday and taken to the Lakan Prison in Rasht.
Mahjoub Doust, 52, was summoned to the 4th branch of the Revolutionary Court on Tuesday November 16 and was interrogated for a prolonged amount of time for having a computer and satellite receiver in her home and for describing her husband’s condition to the international media and human rights organizations. A 50 million toman (50,000 dollar) bail order was then issued for her. She was only given 2 hours to provide the bail money and she said that she could not afford to pay this amount stressing that she had not committed any crime for which she would have to pay bail for.
Mahjoub Doust was kept in Police Station number 5 in Rasht until 7 pm and was subsequently transferred to the Lakan Prison in Rasht without being officially convicted.
Before this, agents of the Ministry of Intelligence had raided her home and seized some of their personal belongings.
Mahjoub Doust is suffering from numerous physical ailments such as heart problems, arthritis and migraines.
She was the caretaker of her husband, Abedi Bakhoda who was on a medical leave from prison to receive surgery and was hospitalized at home. She was responsible for most of his nursing including giving him injections. Abedi Bakhoda was shot in the spinal cord in the 80’s when security forces were trying to arrest him and has become crippled. He is confined to a wheelchair and cannot move. Security forces have arbitrary and illegally arrested Mahjoub Doust to put more pressure on this family, especially her husband.

Post-election protester in poor mental and physical condition in prison

Saham News

Ayub Qanbarpourian, who was arrested after the elections, is in very poor mental and physical condition in prison but the Tehran Prosecutor and prison officials have refused to grant him a leave from prison.
He has been detained for more than a year and has been only able to see his family a few times because they live in another town and cannot easily come to Tehran.
He was sentenced to five years of prison after months of being kept in a state of limbo in cellblocks 350 and 209 in Evin Prison.
This 20 year old political prisoner is from Koh Dasht Village in Lorestan and worked as a construction worker in Tehran. He was arrested for participating in the peaceful demonstrations in protest to election results.

Another prison murdered in fight instigated by Gohardasht Prison officials

Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran

According reports, in a deadly clash in cellblock 5 in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj, prisoner Mohammad Baba Alian was murdered.
On the morning of November 14, at about 3 pm, 22 year old Mohammad Baba Alian was wounded after being stabbed in three parts of his body in a clash. His fellow inmates cried for help for about thirty minutes from behind the closed doors of cellblock 5’s hall before he was finally transferred to the infirmary. He was not immediately treated in the infirmary and no one did anything to stop his bleeding. Prison officials also refused to take him to a hospital outside of the prison and he passed away in front of other inmates without being given first aid.
Before this clash and in the past few days, Alian and his cellmate were reportedly summoned by the assistant head of prison Ali Mohammadi and Faraji, the head of the Intelligence Unit, to the Intelligence Unit and were instigated to fight with one another. They were separately told that if they murder the other prisoner, their sentences would be commuted. Despite the fact that these two prisoners had a friendly relationship with each other, threats and promises by the assistant head of prison and the head of the Intelligence Unit led to this horrific crime.

درگيري خونين در بند 5 زندان گوهردشت کرج منجر به قتل يک زنداني گرديد

بنابه گزارشات رسيده به " فعالين حقوق بشر و دمکراسي در ايران" در طي يک درگيري خونين در بند 5 زندان گوهردشت کرج زنداني محمد بابا عليان به قتل رسيد.
صبحگاه روز شنبه 22 آبان ماه حوالي ساعت 03:00 طي يک درگيري خونين زنداني محمد بابا عليان 22 ساله بر اثر اصابت تيزي به 3 نقطه از بدنش دچار خونريزي گرديد.همبنديان او در حدود نيم ساعت پشت دربهاي بسته سالن بند5 فرياد کمک سر مي دادند تا اينکه درب سالن باز شد و او را به بهداري زندان منتقل کردند. هنگام انتقال به بهداري مدتي طولاني از رسيدگي پزشکي و جلوگيري از خونريزي وي اقدامي انجام نشد و همچنين از انتقال او به بيمارستانهاي خارج از زندان خوداري کردند تا اينکه در بهداري زندان بدون رسيدگي اوليه پزشکي در مقابل چشمان همبنديانش که او را به بهداري منتقل کرده بودند جان باخت.
گفته مي شود که درروزهاي قبل از اين درگيري محمد بابا عليان و هم سلولي او بارها توسط علي محمدي و فرجي به اطلاعات و معاونت زندان احضار شده بودند و آنها را بر عليه يکديگر تحريک کردند و به هر کدام از آنها بطور جداگانه گفته شده بود در صورت به قتل رساندن ديگري از محکوميت آنها کاسته خواهد شد.عليرغم اينکه اين دو فرد هم خرج بودند و رابطۀ دوستانه اي بين آنها وجود داشت ولي تهديدات و تطميع علي محمدي معاون زندان و فرجي رئيس اطلاعات زندان باعث بوجود آوردن چنين جنايتي هولناکي شد .

Political prisoner banned from mourning father’s death in prison

Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran

According to reports, prison guards in Gohardasht (Rajayi Shahr) Prison in Karaj prevented a memorial ceremony for the late father of political prisoner Karim Poursamadi in cellblock 2 in this prison.
Close to a week after the death of this political prisoner’s father, political prisoners intended to hold a memorial ceremony to give condolences to their fellow inmate Karim Poursamadi which was unfortunately met with the refusal of prison agents and they were told that they did not have the right to hold any kind of ceremony in prison.
About four weeks ago, the Intelligence Agency called Poursamadi’s father and told him that his son would be hanged in the morning. His father subsequently had a brain stroke and suddenly passed away.
Notably, because there is no evidence against Poursamadi, his detention order had been changed to a 50 million toman (about 50,000 dollar) bail by the Revolutionary Court but he has not been released from prison. He was under severe pressure because he was not allowed to say his last farewell to his father when he was ill and because he was banned from participating in his funeral.

ممانعت زندانبانان از برگزاري مراسم ختم براي پدر زنداني سياسي کريم پور صمدي

شايان ذکر است حدود 4 ماه پيش از طرف وزارت اطلاعات با منزل پدر زنداني سياسي کريم پور صمدي تماس تلفني گرفته شد و به وي گفتند : «پسرتان را سحرگاه امروز اعدام خواهيم کرد» و همين امر باعث آن حملۀ مغزي و لخته شدن خون در مغز ايشان گرديد و مرگ ناگهاني وي را در بر داشت.
شايان ذکر است قرار بازداشت وي در پرونده با توجه به نبود هيچ مدرکي توسط دادگاه انقلاب تبديل به قرار وثيقه مالي 50 ميليون توماني شده است اما تا به امروز ايشون را آزاد نکردند. بدليل عدم اجازه آخرين وداع و حضور در مراسم خاکسپاري پدرش باعث ايجاد فشارهاي روحي و عاطفي عليه اين زنداني سياسي شده اند.

Iran persecutes wife of political prisoner for having satellite equipment and computer in home

Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran

Some time ago, agents of the Intelligence Agency in Rasht raided the home of political prisoner Hadi Abedi Bakhoda and violently searched this home. These agents seized some of this family’s personal belongings including their computer, telephone book, satellite receiver, CD’s and other things.
These forces also intended to arrest Mehri Javan Doust, Bakhoda’s wife but were met with her resistance against this arbitrary arrest. They summoned Javan Doust that same day to the Intelligence Agency and interrogated and threatened her for three hours and then released her. But last week, she was once again summoned to the Rasht Intelligence Agency and interrogated again for a prolonged amount of time. Because intelligence interrogators did not have any evidence to charge her, they used her children’s computer and the fact that she had a satellite receiver in her home as an excuse to file a criminal record against her.
These interrogators have also informed her that she will be put on trial on November 15 on these charges.
Hadi Abedi Bakhoda was shot in the spinal cord in the 80’s when regime forces were trying to arrest him and is now paralyzed and on a wheelchair. He was a political prisoner in the 80’s and was recently sentenced to 2 years of prison under fabricated charges. Because of his physical condition, he is receiving treatment under the care of his wife.

Iran Arrests Four Student Leaders

ISNA website

Four prominent Iranian student activists were arrested over the weekend in a fresh crackdown targeting students.
Iranian authorities have been tightening security ahead of a controversial government plan to phase out basic food and fuel subsidies.
The government is bracing for social unrest, and has increased the police presence in Tehran and other cities. On Monday, several underground rap musicians were arrested in Tehran, and last week hundreds of young men and women were arrested in what the police termed a 'security cleansing’.
The four students, from cities across Iran, are recently elected members of the central committee of a politically active student group, the Office for Fostering Student Unity, which has local chapters at campuses nationwide. The group has been at the forefront of the struggle to reform the regime.
The group says the government pressured it not to hold its biennial election this year to select five new committee members. The ballot was held via the Internet last week, the group said, and as of Monday, four of the five elected had been arrested and one was in hiding.
The detained students are Ali Qolizadeh, Alireza Kiani, Mohsen Barzegar and Mohamad Heydarzadeh. The four men were picked up by plainclothes agents without arrest warrants, according to their families and the group's website. Their current whereabouts aren't known. Prosecutors in local chapters of the Revolutionary Court, which tries political dissidents, have told their families that the men will be transferred to Evin prison in Tehran in the next few days.
‘Day to day, the regime is systematically targeting different groups, like lawyers, students and journalists, in order to prevent them from activism,' said Hadi Ghaemi, director of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, an independent organization based in New York.
The case of a jailed human-rights lawyer is also in the spotlight after she began a hunger strike last week. Nasrin Sotoudeh, a mother of two young children, has been in solitary confinement for 75 days. She faces trial later this month on charges of threatening national security and of belonging to a nonprofit organization of human-rights lawyers in Iran.
President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad has denied that Iran imprisons its critics and has slammed recent reports of human-rights violations in Iran as propaganda. 'All of our opponents and their leaders are free. We do not have any critics or opponents in jail,' Mr. Ahamdinejad told journalists in New York during his September visit to the United Nations General Assembly.
One of the detained students, Mr. Qolizadeh, a 25-year-old with a degree in engineering, was a subject of a front-page Wall Street Journal story last December detailing the Iranian regime's war on student activists.
Mr. Qolizadeh, the only son of a working-class family in the conservative northwestern town of Mashad, had been a candidate to study for an M.B.A. degree. In a placement exam, he earned a national ranking of 43 among 25,000 applicants, but was told he was banned for life from education because of his political activism.
Mr. Qolizadeh later received several scholarship offers from western universities. He told The Wall Street Journal over the summer that he was studying to improve his English, but had decided to stay in Iran. 'Leaving Iran is like defeat,' he said. 'I feel that I can better serve our cause from here now’.
Mr. Qolizadeh's mother, reached by phone in Mashad, said her family was devastated and had been warned not to talk to the media about her son.
‘My son has done nothing wrong, he is innocent,' she said. 'Why are they treating the country's brightest youth this way’? (Wall Street Journal- Nov. 8, 2010)

Iran to send drug dealers to forced labor camps
The head of the State Security Forces Narcotics Department stressed that forced labor camps would be built in the outskirts of large cities and said, “Narcotics drug dealers who have been arrested by the police will be transferred to these camps and will be put to work under the hardest possible conditions”.
According to him, drug dealers will be put to work in these forced labor camps under hard and severe conditions so that when they leave the camp, they would not think about going back to drug dealing.
“The arrangements for this plan have been made and in the very near future, forced labor camps will host drug dealers”, Hossein Abadi said.

ايران 4 رهبر دانشجويي را دستگير ميکند
در روزهاي آخر هفته، در يک سرکوبي جديد عليه دانشجويان، 4 دانشجوي فعال ايراني شناخته شده دستگير شدند.
مقامات ايراني قبل از به اجرا گذاشتن طرح دولت جهت حذف سوبسيدهاي غذا و سوخت شرايط امنيتي شديدي را تدارک ديدند.
دولت در حال آماده‌شدن براي مقابله با ناآرامي‌هاي اجتماعي است و حضور پليس در تهران و شهرهاي بزرگ ديگر را افزايش داده است. روز دوشنبه چندين موسيقيدان زيرزميني رپ (rap) در تهران، و هفته گذشته صدها مرد و زن جوان، به اسم “پاکسازي امنيتي“ دستگير شدند.
چهار دانشجو از شهرهاي سرتاسر ايران اخيراً اعضايي از کميته‌مرکزي گروه دانشجويان فعال سياسي، موسوم به دفتر تحکيم وحدت دانشجويي (office for fostering student unity) را برگزيدند. اين دفتر در تمامي دانشکده‌هاي سراسر ايران شعبي دارد. اين گروه پيشتار مبارزه براي اصلاح رژيم بوده است.
گروه ميگويد که دولت روي آن فشار گذاشته تا از انتخابات دو ساله براي انتخاب 5 عضو جديد دست نگه دارد. گروه گفت نظرسنجي از طريق اينترنت روز دوشنبهصورت گرفته و از 5نفر انتخاب شده 4نفرشان دستگير و نفر پنجم در خفابهسر ميبرد.
علي قلي‌زاده، عليرضا کيان، محسن برزگر و محمد حيدرزاده دانشجويان دستگير شده ميباشند. اين چهار دانشجو به گفته خانواده‌هايشان و همچنين وب‌سايت دانشجويي، توسط پليس‌هاي لباس شخصي بدون حکم دادگاه دستگير شده و از محل حبس آنها اطلاعي در دست نيست. …
حميد قائمي، مدير کارزار بين‌المللي حقوقبشر در ايران، سازماني مستقل و مستقر در نيويورک اظهار داشت، “ روزانه رژيم بهطور سيستماتيک گروههاي دانشجويي، مانند وکلا، دانشجويان و روزنامه‌نگاران را مورد هدف قرار ميدهد تا مانع از فعاليتهاي آنها شود“.
قضيه خانم وکيل [مدافع] حقوقبشر زنداني، که هفته پيش اعتصاب غذاي خود را شروع کرد، در کانون توجهات قرار دارد. نسرين ستوده، 75روز در زندان انفرادي محبوس بوده است. اواخر اين ماه وي دادگاهي خواهد شد. …
محمود احمدينژاد رئيسجمهور ايران انکار کرد که ايران مخالفين خود را زنداني ميکند و گزارشات داده شده در مورد نقض حقوقبشر در ايران تبليغات سوء ميباشد…
آقاي قلي‌زاده 25ساله و داراي مدرک مهندسي، يکي از 4 دانشجوي زنداني است که داستان وي در صفحه اول روزنامه وال استريت ژورنال در دسامبر گذشته آمده بود. روزنامه موضوع جنگ رژيم با فعالين دانشجويي را با جزئيات درج کرده بود.
آقاي قلي‌زاده، تنها فرزند خانواده کارگري ساکن مشهد، شهر محافظه‌کار شمال‌شرقي ايران ميباشد که براي ادامه تحصيل براي اخذ مدرک فوق‌ليسانس انتخاب شد. وي در ميان 25هزار متقاضي در سطح کشور، رتبه چهلو ‌سوم را به‌دست آورده بود. به وي ابلاغ شد که بهخاطر فعاليت سياسي، مادام‌العمر از تحصيل محروم است.
آقاي قلي‌زاده بعداً از دانشگاههاي کشورهاي غربي به وي چندين کمک‌هزينه دانشجويي پيشنهاد شده بود.
وي به روزنامه وال استريت ژورنال در تابستان گفت که وي براي ارتقاء زبان انگليسي به تحصيل مشغول است، ليکن تصميم به ماندن در ايران دارد. وي گفت، “ترک ايران به منزله شکست ميباشد. احساس ميکنم که از همين جا ميتوانم نهضت‌مان را بهتر پيش ببريم“.

Prisoner goes blind due to lack of on time treatment

Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran

According to reports, a prisoner was blinded in his right eye after an attack by a gang which works under the command of the head of Gohardasht Prison, Ali Haj Kazem.
Prisoner Zare Javadzadeh, 29, is detained in Hall 3, Cellblock 1 in Gohardasht Prison. Some time ago, a prison gang which has been organized under orders of the head of this prison to suppress dissident prisoners and sell narcotics attacked this prisoner with knives and clubs. He was stabbed in the eye and sustained a serious injury.
He was told in the prison infirmary that he had to pay a large sum of money to have an eye surgery and that the prison would not pay for his surgery. He was told that they could only take his eye out; otherwise, the prisoner would have to pay for the expenses of surgery. Javadzadeh accepted to pay the expenses for fear of going blind but said that he needed about two weeks to come up with the money. The heads of the infirmary said that they would postpone the surgery for two weeks and would wait for his payment.
After two weeks, he was able to come up with the money for surgery but a specialist doctor told him that because he waited too long for the treatment, his eye is untreatable and that he would be blinded and he did lose his eyesight in his right eye.
Zare Javadzadeh was arrested in 2007 and was detained for a long period of time in the Shahpour Detention Center, Intelligence Agency detention center and the notorious Kahrizak ‘death’ camp. He was under severe inhumane torture for 48 days in the Kahrizak Camp. Javadzadeh was tortured along with other prisoners by Ahmad-Reza Radan and Yahaqi, two State Security Forces commanders, for two weeks in this death camp.

عدم داشتن هزينه درمان باعث از بين رفتن بينايي يک زنداني گرديد

بنابه گزارشات رسيده به "فعالين حقوق بشر و دمکراسي در ايران"در اثر يورش باندهاي مافيايي تحت امر رئيس زندان علي حاج کاظم به يکي از زندانيان بند 1 زندان گوهردشت کرج منجر به کور شدن چشم راست وي شد.
زنداني زارع جواد زاده 29 ساله که در سالن 3 بند 1 زندان گوهردشت کرج زنداني است . مدتي پيش توسط باند مافيايي زندان که به دستور علي حاج کاظم رئيس زندان گوهردشت کرج تشکيل شده است و براي سرکوب زندانيان معترض و فروش مواد مخدر در زندان بکار برده مي شوند مورد يورش و به قصد کشت آماج چاقو وقمه و ساير ابزار آنها قرار گرفت که يکي از چاقوها به چشم وي اصابت کرد و آسيب جدي ديد.
هنگامي که او را به بهداري زندان منتقل کردند به وي گفته شد که انجام عمل جراحي بر روي چشمش نياز به هزينۀ زيادي دارد و زندان آن را پرداخت نخواهد کرد و آنها فقط مي توانند چشم وي را تخليه کنند، در غير اينصورت زنداني بايد خود متحمل هزينه آن شود.آقاي جواد زاده براي جلوگيري از نابينا شدن پذيرفت که هزينۀ عمل جراحي را خود بپردازد ولي نياز به مدت زماني در حدود 2 هفته بود. پاسخ مسئولين بهداري زندان به او اين بود پس عمل جراحي وي را تا 2 هفته ديگر به تعويق خواهند انداخت و منتظر تهيۀ هزينۀ آن مي شوند.
او پس از 2 هفته مبلغ مورد نياز براي عمل جراحي را تهيه نمود اما پزشکان متخصص به وي اعلام کردند بدليل دير مراجعه کردند ديگر چشم او قابل درمان نيست و چشم راست وي نابينا مي شود و چنين شد.
زنداني زارع جواد زاده در سال 1386 دستگير شد و براي مدت طولاني در بازداشتگاههاي آگاهي شاهپور تهران،اطلاعات و اردوگاه مرگ کهريزک بسر برد. او به مدت 48 روز در اردوگاه مرگ کهريزک تحت شکنجه هاي قرون وسطايي جسمي و روحي قرار گرفت. آقاي جواد زاده 2 روز در هفته توسط شخص احمدرضا رادان و سرگرد پاسدار ياحقي همانند ساير زنداني بصورت جمعي در اردوگاه مرگ کهريزک مورد شکنجه قرار مي گرفتند.

Report on inhumane conditions in Shirvan Prison

Kurdaneh website

Shirvan Prison is located in the town of Shirvan in the Southern Khorasan Province. This prison has been built in the outskirts of town and holds about 500 prisoners…
All sorts of narcotics which can be found outside of prison can also be found in cellblock 1 in this prison including various kinds of crystal meth, marijuana and other narcotics which is sold for 10 times as much in prison...
Shirvan Prison seems like a normal prison, but prisoners are denied minimum facilities. There are not enough blankets given to prisons in the cold seasons. Food quality is very poor and food rations are very scarce. Prisoners who have money buy food from the prison shop to stay alive but shops usually cheat prisoners from their money.
Narcotics are brought into prison via visits, prisoners who come back from leaves and the prison guards.
There is a solitary cell in this prison known as the doghouse. Those who do not follow prison regulations are transferred there. The doghouse is a 2 by 1 meter room which has no cooling or warming facilities and does not even have a ventilator.
If a prisoner goes on a hunger strike, they are transferred to this room.
Three people were executed in the last 3 months in Shirvan Prison.
There is no rule of law in prison and only injustice. Prison guards threaten and take bribes from prisoners on a daily basis. In one case Abuzar Heidari, a prison guard, abducted a prisoner’s fiancé who intended to come to prison for a visit under the pretext of an inspection and raped her. After this crime was disclosed, the assistant head of prison entered the scene and gave promises to the prisoner’s fiancé and the case was silenced.
Torture and abuse is a usual thing in prison. Torture is also a routine procedure in the Police Intelligence Offices and it is also usual for prisoners to be used for the personal aims of prison officials in the workers cellblock in this prison. For example, prisoners in this cellblock are forced to work until 2am every day building the home of the assistant head of prison …
There are more prisoners in this prison than its capacity and prisoners are forced to sleep on the ground, hallways or restrooms. The most horrible issue is the condition of the families of prisoners who are taken advantage of by prison officials.
This is the condition of non political prisoners. One could only imagine the condition of political prisoners. Some time ago a prisoner identified as Ramezan Baghcheqi died in prison due to lack of on time treatment.

گزارشي از زندان شيروان و وضعيت غير انساني اين زندان

زندان شيروان يکي از صدها زندان ايران است که در شهر شيروان واقع در خراسان جنوبي بنا شده است. زندان شيروان در خارج شهر ساخته شده است و در حدود 500 زنداني در آن نگهداري مي شود...
در بند يک هرنوع مواد مخدري که در بيرون وجود داشته باشد در زندان و بند يک وجود دارد .انواع کراک شيشه، ترياک و چيزهاي ديگر البته به قيمت 10 برابرگران تر از بيرون .
زندان شيروان به ظاهريک زندان معمولي است. زندانيان از کمترين امکانات محروم هستند. پتو در فصل سرما به اندازه کافي به زنداني داده نمي شود. سهميه غذا اگر چه کمترين کيفيت را دارد از لحاظ مقدار هم بسيار ناچيز است.زنداني که پول دارد براي زنده ماندن بايد از فروشگاه زندان خريد کند که فروشگاه هم براي چپاول بيشتر زنداني است.
مواد از طريق ملاقاتها، مرخصي و توسط افسر نگهبانها وارد زندان مي شود.
در زندان شيروان يک انفرادي وجود دارد که به سگداني معروف است. کساني که مقررات زندان را رعايت نمي کنند به آنجا منتقل مي شوند. سگداني، اتاقي با 2 متر طول و يک متر عرض و بدون امکانات سرمايشي و گرمايشي و حتي اين اتاق هواکش هم ندارد.
در صورتي که زنداني اعتصاب غذا نمايد . زنداني را به اين اتاق منتقل مي کنند. در زندان شيروان در سه ماه گذشته 3 نفر اعدام شدند.
در زندان قانوني وجود ندارد و بي عدالتي بيداد مي کند زندانبانان هر روز در حال باج گرفتن و تهديد زندانيان هستند. در يک مورد ابوذر حيدري دژبان زندان به همسر يک مددجو که هنوزعروسي نکرده بودند و هنوز نامزد بودند وي را از مقابل درب زندان به بهانه بازرسي ربود و به او تجاوز کرد. پس از افشاي اين جنايت با پادرمياني معاون زندان و حفاظت زندان و دادن وعده به همسر زنداني از وي رضايت گرفتند و موضوع را مسکوت گذاشتند .
در زندان شکنجه و آزار زنداني بسيار معمول است. در اداره آگاهي هم شکنجه بسيار معمول است در بند کارگري استفاده از زندانيان براي کارهاي شخصي بسيار معمولي است. به طور مثال از زندانيان اين بند براي ساختن خانه معاون زندان تا ساعت 2 بعد از نيمه شب کار کشيده مي شود ...
تعداد زندانيان اين زندان بيشتر از ظرفيت زندان است و زندانيان بر روي زمين و در کريدور زندان و در سرويس بهداشتي بندها مي خوابند واز همه دردناکتر وضعيت خانواده زندانيان است که هميشه مورد سو استفاده قرار مي گيرند.
و اين قصه تلخ طولاني تر از اين حرفهاست اين وضعيت زندانيان عادي است حال شما تصور کنيد و ضعيت زندانيان سياسي چگونه است چند وقت پيش يک زنداني به نام رمضان باغچقي به علت عدم رسيدگي پزشکي فوت کرد. (كوردانه – 21/8/89)

No news on abducted labor activist

Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran

According to reports, there is no news on the condition of abducted labor activist Gholamreza Gholam Hosseini.
This labor activist was abducted after he was attacked by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence in a street in Karaj and after severe beatings, was transferred to a solitary cell in the Sepah Cellblock in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj. There has been no news on his condition since his arrest.
His family has constantly approached various centers asking about his condition but they have not been given any answers and his family is very concerned for his safety.
Agents of the Ministry of Intelligence attacked his home before this and took his child hostage for one day in his absence. They also seized his ID, passport and bank card and booklet from his home. His family is now unable to draw money from their bank account and is facing financial problems.
Gholam Hosseini’s family went to the Karaj Intelligence Agency to get back their personal documents and bank cards but was met with disrespect by an intelligent agent who threatened them that ‘if we arrest Mr. Gholam Hosseini, we will skin him”.
A new method used by intelligence agents is that in addition to cutting off the wages of the Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company’s suspended workers, they seize the bank documents of these workers so that their families would not be able to draw money from the bank and in this way put their families under financial pressure.
