Torture by Iran’s fundamentalist regime has led to the death of three Iranians in a prison in Zahedan, southeastern Iran, over three consecutive days this week, according to received reports.

The reports indicated that on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of this week the three prisoners in Wards 5, 6 and 7 of the central prison of Zahedan died due to brutal tortures and denial of medical treatment.

Farzad Naravi, who went by the nickname Shahin and was in his forties, lost his life on Sunday, December 27, three days after he was transferred to Ward 5 of the prison from an interrogation center where he had been brutally tortured. He had serious torture wounds and blood on his back and feet. In prison, he was denied access to medical care.

Mehdi Naravi, 38, died in prison on Monday, December 28. He had spent the past six years behind bars and had been in Ward 7 of Zahedan Prison. For some time, Mehdi Naravi had been ill, but the prison guards deliberately refused to allow his transfer to a hospital.

Gholam Rabbani, 45, who had been imprisoned in Ward 6 of the prison, died on Tuesday, December 29. He too had been ill after spending the past two years in prison, but prison guards had prevented him from receiving proper medical treatment.

EbrahimFirouzi, an Iranian Christian prisoner in the notorious Gohardasht (Rajai Shahr) Prison in Karaj, north-west of the Iranian capital Tehran, is being deprived of medical treatment by the mullahs’ regime although he suffers from acute diseases, according to local reports.

It is over a year now that he is suffering of acute pain in the left side of his chest and his condition has deteriorated in the past three months.

Mr. Firouzi was arrested on August 25, 2013 and condemned by a court in Robat Karim, south-west of Tehran, to one year in prison and two years exile in Sarbaz County. Although his prison term ended on January 13, 2015, he is still being kept in prison. New bogus charges were raised against him on March 8, 2015 for ‘acting against national security’ through community means, and he was subsequently condemned to five years in prison by the henchman-judge Moqiseh in Branch 28 of the regime’s courts.

He is currently in detention in Ward 10 of Gohardasht.

Iran: New case filed against Nargess Mohammadi

political prisoner Nargess Mohammadi

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.
