ZeinabJalalian, a Kurdish woman imprisoned in Khuy Prison, suffers from serious eye problems and her conditions are reported as critical. The damages inflicted on her eyes has been a result of the torture and blows she has endured from interrogators.

This prisoner had suffered internal bleeding and intestine infection prior to this and after being transferred to Kermanshah’s Diesel Abad Prison (western Iran) in 2012. However, at that time prison officials and the public prosecutor refused to provide adequate medical care and send her to a hospital. Her internal bleeding began after suffering severe beatings in the Kermanshah intelligence department detention center. She has been deprived of medical leave for the past 8 years.
