According to reports, political prisoner Arjang Davoudi has been in a solitary cell in cellblock 1 which is used to torture prisoners for the last10 days.
He was transferred from Hall 4 to a solitary cell in Cellblock 1 in the Gohardasht Prison in Karaj on April 24. His transfer to solitary under unsubstantial reasons is only to put pressure on him and to place him under medieval conditions. Davoudi has been denied all methods of contact with his family including visits from behind a glass partition and phone calls since December 2, 2010…
His family has had no news on his condition for close to six months and is extremely worried about his condition. They have gone to various government institutions asking about their loved one but intelligence agents summoned his wife to the Intelligence Agency and interrogated her instead of answering their concerns.
She was threatened that if she talks to the media about her husband’s condition, she will have to face the hard consequences. (Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran – May 4, 2011)
