“Nothing illegal takes place in Evin Prison”; “politics” behind Sotoudeh’s hunger strike

Mohammad Hasan Asfari, a member of the Majlis NSFPC, said that nothing illegal takes place in Evin Prison despite allegations of widespread prisoner abuse. “We did not see anything against the law in Evin Prison, and today our prisons have good equipment and standard facilities.” He added that imprisoned lawyer and human rights activist Nasrin Sotoudeh herself refuses to meet her children. He further said that he has obtained this information from “related organizations.”
