According to reports by “Human Rights and Democracy in Iran” the defenseless prisoners of Ghezalhesar prison are kept outside during heavy snowfalls and storms in temperatures below zero.
During daily hours, these prisoners of Ghezalhesar are forced to go out from their cells to the prison yards from 7:30am till lunch time and once again after the lunch hours.
The ill, elderly and those incapable of walking are not allowed to stay in their cells and are forced to be outside during extreme weather conditions where many suffer frostbite.
Those prisoners who are incapable of leaving their cells are forced out and later transferred to the section 8 where they are being brutally beaten up by prison guards
In order to increase the repression, these guards forcibly undress these prisoners naked to be in the sight of other prisoners for the purpose of humiliating.
These inhumane acts are being carried out systematically by the prison.
From another point of view, the food is insufficient and in poor condition where these prisoners have to share unequally amount with each other and are obligated to buy more from the prison shop.
Unhealthy prisoners must wait several weeks before they can visit the prison’s health center and when a patient’s turn arrives, they receive narcotics without examinations by the doctors.
The congestion of the prisoners is increasing which forces the prisoners to sleep at the corridors, stairs and even in the bathrooms.
These miserable and inhumane acts which exist are slowly leading to the increasing death toll of the prisoners.
Human Rights and Democracy activists in Iran condemns these repressions, barbaric and brutal acts and the High Commissioner for Human Rights calls for a delegation to be sent to these to review the prisoners deplorable situation.
