Kurdish political prisoner Zeinab Jalalian, imprisoned for eight years now, is
suffering from severe vision problems and may lose her eyesight.
Zeinab has been under intense
pressure during the past few years by agents of the notorious Ministry of
Intelligence (MOIS) and is still deprived of her weekly visits. She has
launched hunger strikes protesting her conditions, and according to prison
physicians she must undergo eye surgery and may go blind if she doesn't receive
treatment.
Jalalian was born in 1982 in the
city of Maku, northwestern Iran, and was arrested in 2007 by agents in
Kermanshah's Intelligence Department. She was first sentenced to death and then
to life in prison.
