According to reports from eyewitnesses women in Evin prison are under enournous pressure.
Women arrested in recent protests in Iran have been transferred to Evin and kept in the public ward. As the result, the ward is extremely crowded and many use corridors to stay or sleep in, using only a blanket. In 209 ,hygiene is drastic: much lice and infection has been hampering life for these women, and food is insufficient as much as most rely on daily biscuits for nutrition!
The situation for women political prisoners is worst: They are not given any logistics and are asked to provide cloths and blankets and needs through families. Each is asked to pay for her Cell in prison. Warm water has been cut off from the ward and this has created much problem for inmates. Specially for women who have small children with them: making milk and caring for the children and preventing illness has been very hard. Children are facing various diseases as the result with no sufficient medical treatment.
According to one woman prisoners, dangerous and infective insects have been seen in the wards, which have caused dis-functionality of their bodies. Most prisoners are not allowed to have new cloths and have been in prison since capture with the same cloths.
Despite all such pressures , women have put up a fierce resistance and perseverance not to submit to the regime.
