Political prisoners in Gohardasht Prison under increasing torture and abuse

According to reports, the pressure and limitations against political prisoner Dr. Ahmad Zeid Abadi, the Secretary General of the Iran Alumni Organization and other political prisoners is ongoing in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj.
Political prisoner Zeid Abadi is detained in section 6 along with ordinary and dangerous criminals. All prisoners have been warned in this section that they have no right to have any kind of contacts with him and if they do, they will be thrown in solitary in section 1 for 'those at the end of the line'.

According to other reports, yesterday two people arrested on Ashura identified as Farid Rohani, 29, and Alireza Shetabi, 27 have been transferred from solitary cells in section 5 to the public ward in section 6. Intelligence interrogators have put pressure on them telling them that they have to claim that they were arrested on financial charges and not (for protesting) on Ashura (December 27, 2009).
They have been threatened that if they do refrain from doing this, they will be transferred to section one 'for those at the end of the line' and will be killed there. These political prisoners were kept in solitary in Evin Prison for 10 days with blindfolds where they were tortured. They did not know exactly where they were detained in Evin Prison. Shetabi and Rohani were then transferred to solitary cells in ward 5 and were faced with degrading and insulting treatment and physical torture for 37 days.
