Mounting suppression and pressures on political prisoners at Gohardasht prison on the brink of Irani
Mounting suppression and pressures on political prisoners at Gohardasht prison on the brink of Iranian New Year |
3/20/2010
On the brink of the Iranian New Year, Nowrouz, the inhumane clerical regime in Iran has intensified suppression and increased pressures on political prisoners at Gohardasht prison in the city of Karaj near capital Tehran.
1. The prison’s water has been shut off since Tuesday and the hygienic situation at the medieval prison has deteriorated even more. Despite appalling prison conditions and lack of fulfillment of the minimum basic and daily hygienic needs, the clerical regime’s henchmen have not made any efforts to improve the situation. In recent months, after widespread arrests during the nationwide uprising, the number of prisoners is now several times more than it was prior to the start of uprising last June, which far exceeds prison capacity.
2. Visits with family members have been prevented. The henchmen have pressured prisoners to proclaim their charge as “acting against national security” instead of “political offences” on forms related to family visits. The regime’s officials claim that “we do not have political prisoners in the Islamic Republic”!
3. On Saturday and Sunday, Gohardasht prison guards attacked and beat inmates, absurdly alleging discovery of drugs and prevention of “setting fire to prison during Fire Festival.”
4. Political prisoners Mansour Osanlou and Behrouz Javid Tehrani have been transferred to solitary confinement. Mr. Afshin Baymani has been placed under repeated interrogations.
The Iranian Resistance urges all international authorities and human rights organizations to enact urgent measures to stop the appalling trend of human rights abuses in the clerical regime’s medieval prisons.
