Editorial by G. d'A.: Dear reader, as a
webmaster also I constantly have to guard the read-ability of the 'Cryfreedom'-outlet
and sometimes decisions need to be made to have it be for your
convenience and moreso in total support of the women-led revolt in Iran
which inevitably will be a grand Victory. Still, choices must be made
always and so I've decided to, for now, embed all the actual news about
the 'NO-hijab; 'Biological terror attscks against schoolgirls'; 'Iranian
journalists under siege'; 'Blinding as a weapon' and 'The hanging spree'
as part of the 'Actual news' updates of the Iran 'Woman, Life, Freedom'
section. But, if need be and urgent attention and action is needed
concerning the above mentioned topics it will get an extra emphasized
place as part of the actual news page-layout. Thank you for being a
reader and for your support of the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' revolution.

Tabriz prison
NCRI - Womens committee - 24 August 2024 - in Women's News
<<Tabriz Prison: Violation of the Rights of Female Detainees
The Central Prison of Tabriz, also known as Tabriz Prison, located at the end of
29 Bahman Boulevard in Tabriz, the capital of East Azerbaijan Province in
northwestern Iran, has become notorious for its harsh and inhumane treatment of
inmates.
This report, based on the observations of a former political prisoner who was
held in the women's ward from July 2018 to March 2020, provides a detailed
account of the severe human rights violations occurring within the prison. The
author’s identity has been withheld for security reasons, but the details reveal
a disturbing picture of life for the women incarcerated there.
Historical Background and Location
Tabriz Prison is housed in a building dating back to the Pahlavi era, the
pre-revolution monarchy in Iran. The women's ward is located on a floor that
includes a single hall where the guards’ office is also situated. The prison's
infrastructure reflects its age, with narrow corridors leading to the women's
section, further exacerbating the feeling of confinement and oppression.
Tabriz Prison Administration and Abuse
The women's ward was overseen by a female officer named Ourangi, known for her
violent and threatening behavior. She once told an inmate, "If I had the Supreme
Leader's [referring to Ali Khamenei, the highest authority in Iran] fatwa, I
would cut you into pieces with a knife right here!" This statement exemplifies
the level of brutality and repression that female prisoners face daily. Another
key figure in the administration was a man named Mahmoudi, who served as the
warden of Tabriz Prison.
Prison Population and Living Conditions
The women imprisoned in Tabriz were held in overcrowded conditions, with the
number of inmates in the ward fluctuating between 100 and 150. The prisoners
were not segregated based on the nature of their crimes; political prisoners
were held alongside those convicted of various social crimes, such as theft,
prostitution, and drug trafficking. The overwhelming majority of these women
came from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
As the number of inmates increased, resources became even more scarce. Many
prisoners were forced to sleep on the floor due to the lack of beds. The
overcrowding and inadequate facilities led to a growing crisis within the
prison.
Juvenile and Political Prisoners
The <Rehabilitation and Correction Center> housed inmates under the age of 18
and political prisoners who were kept isolated from others. This included those
arrested during the widespread protests in November 2019, a period of
significant unrest in Iran.
Communication and Hygiene
Tabriz Prison provided only four telephones for the 100 to 150 female inmates,
leading to long queues and significant delays in contacting family members.
Hygiene standards were appallingly low. With only five showers for over 100
women, there was often a shortage of hot water. The lack of sanitation led to
the spread of diseases and the presence of pests, further endangering the health
of the inmates. Each prisoner was allocated only a small amount of cleaning
supplies, insufficient for their monthly needs.
Limited Access to Basic Necessities
The prison shop was open only a few hours each day, and only prisoners who
received money from their families could purchase necessities. Inmates often had
to wait in line for extended periods to buy fruit and other essential items.
Nutrition and Health Care
The diet provided to the prisoners was inadequate, consisting mainly of
low-quality rice with meager portions of stew and lentil soup for dinner, which
did not meet the nutritional needs of the women. As a result, many prisoners
resorted to eating bread to stave off hunger, leading to abnormal weight gain.
Medical care in Tabriz Prison was in a state of crisis. Prisoners were not
allowed to keep their medications and had to wait in long lines to receive
essential drugs, exacerbating their illnesses. Many inmates suffer from a range
of untreated medical conditions due to the inadequate healthcare system in the
prison.
Mental Health and Forced Labor
The mental health of many women in Tabriz Prison deteriorated, leading to a
disturbing number of self-harm incidents. In response, the prison authorities
banned sharp objects, forcing inmates to use plastic cups and metal flasks to
prevent further self-injury. These acts of self-harm were a testament to the
deep despair and hopelessness felt by the prisoners.
In addition to the harsh living conditions, women prisoners were forced to
engage in labor-intensive carpet weaving. Despite the grueling nature of the
work, they received only a pittance for their labor, while the prison officials
profited from the sale of the carpets.
The conditions in Tabriz Prison during the period from July 2018 to March 2020
reflect a broader pattern of systemic abuse and human rights violations under
the Iranian regime. The lack of proper medical care, inadequate nutrition,
overcrowding, forced labor, and psychological abuse paint a grim picture of life
for women inmates in this facility. This report serves as a stark reminder of
the urgent need for international attention and intervention to address the
ongoing human rights abuses in Iran’s prisons.>>
