Harsh and inhumane treatment of political prisoners, especially women pol. Prisoners have become a hallmark of the Rouhani regime presidency. There has been continued deterioration in the treatment of political prisoners during past two years of Hassan Rouhani presidency. This includes denying political prisoners the right to proper medical treatment including for the prominent Maryam Akbari-Monfared.
On Monday, January 4, the Iranian regime’s henchmen in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison transferred political prisoner Ms. Maryam Akbari-Monfared, a relative of People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) members who reside in Camp Liberty, to a hospital in the Narmak district for diagnosis and medical treatment. However, within a few hours and without her receiving any medical treatment she was returned back to the prison.
