Prison
guards who transferred political prisoner Nargess Mohammadi to hospital for
treatment have filed a complaint against her, arousing her protest.
Ms.
Mohammadi, Vice President of the League of Human Rights Advocates in Iran,
wrote an open letter in November to Tehran’s Prosecutor upon return from
hospital and complained about the way she had been treated by her guards. She
said they chained her to the bed and did not leave the room when she had to
take off her clothes for medical examination or surgery. Finally, she refused
to go to the operation room after her guard refused to leave the operation room
and returned to prison without final diagnosis of her illness.
The
new complaint may be related to verbal exchanges between Ms. Mohammadi and her
guards in such tense situations at the hospital.
In
another development, it was reported prison guards prevented her relatives from
giving Ms. Mohammadi the pictures of her twins who have been sent abroad and
she has not been in contact with since June. In response to her request to her
inquiry, prison guards answered, “We have been instructed to deal with you in
this manner.
