Iran: Children deprived of visiting imprisoned mothers

Children deprived of visiting imprisoned mothers

A number of children under the age of 18 had gone to Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison to visit their imprisoned mothers on 18 November. While they were waiting and their mothers were getting ready to enter the visiting hall, the children were forced out of the hall at the last minute, while in tears. Their mothers were told they cannot see their children on that day, according to the website of the NCRI Women's Committee.

In other news, prison authorities have told political prisoners that Babak Zanjani, an Iranian regime-affiliated businessman charged for plundering millions of dollars, was scheduled to meet his wives on the same day but decided to cancel the visit.
