The women Nobel Peace Prize winners on Sunday called for the unfettered and unconditional freedom of Mrs. Narges Mohammadi.
In a statement posted on the Women Nobel Peace Prize Winners website, these noble women called on the Iranian regime to end judicial inquiry of human rights defenders and immediately and unconditionally release Mrs. Narges Mohammadi who has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for fighting to end execution.
Mrs. Mohammadi who has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in recent days for being an outspoken women fighting to stop execution in Iran, wrote a letter to the Pen Association describing the most inhumane ordeal she has gone through and the pressures that the political prisoners endures regime put on.
She wrote: “The pain and the torment beyond the agony of being incarcerated, is to endure the solitary confinements in the security sections. We are 25 women in the Women’s Ward of the Evin Prison who have been sentenced to 150 months in solitary confinement in the security section which is much more difficult than to endure the normal prison term. Political prisoners when first arrive at the Evin have to endure long terms in such solitary conditions which are called “the preliminary investigative period.”
Narges Mohammdi added that “One of the functions of such solitaries is to extract confessions, often coerced, against the accused through intimidations and threat of physical and sexual abuse. Then after the confession is taken, judges impose heavy sentences on the prisoners based on the same baseless and coerced confessions.”
Mrs. Mohammadi finished her letter to the PEN Association calling on them to put pressure in the criminal regime of the mullahs to end torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners.
