26 political prisoners pressured and interrogated in prison for signing complaint against RGC and Ministry of Intelligence

June 12, 2011

The 26 political prisoners who filed complaints to the Evin Prison Court against the Revolutionary Guards Corps and the Ministry of Intelligence were summoned and interrogated. The Assistant head of the court has asked these prisoners to refute their statement, saying that if they did not, their prison terms would be increased.

The purpose of these interrogations was not to see into their complaints but rather to find out how they provided and then published the signed complaint. Prison officials are trying to discourage them from making complaints…

In this statement which was signed by 26 political prisoners and was published in websites, these prisoners asked officials to see to their complaints…

These political prisoners once again detailed the tortures they were subjected to in their statement and said that they were violently arrested and were insulted and degraded to the point that many of them were severely beaten upon their arrest. (Kalameh Website – Jun. 9, 2011)
