NCRI, 04 September 2010 – Prisoners in Gohardasht prison, situated in Karaj, undergo continuous psychological torture, according to eyewitness accounts.

Gangs and drug dealing has become rampant in the prison while food is limited and has extremely low quality. The rice, for example, is served almost uncooked. Some inmates are forced to go hungry because the food ration is not enough.

According to these reports, the prison’s shop is not well stocked. Meat and protein products which were previously sold twice or triple the regular price are now only limited to prison personnel and not the inmates. Long lines for the shop often lead to fights.
According to one of the prisoners, even after all this, the shop sometimes uses various pretexts and closes its doors without serving the prisoners.
