Sakineh Parvaneh Denied Access to Counsel, Imprisoned after Sham Trial
Center for Human Rights in Iran - April 16, 2024
<<Tortured and in Deteriorating Health, Woman Activist in Iran Should be
Immediately Released
Sakineh Parvaneh Denied Access to Counsel, Imprisoned after Sham Trial
Lawyer Who Tried to Defend Her Arrested and Also Tortured
Grave concerns are mounting for a young woman imprisoned in Iran, who has been
denied counsel since the onset of her initial imprisonment, repeatedly subjected
to torture, and denied proper medical treatment. <Sakineh's 'crimes' are
numerous in the eyes of the repressive Islamic Republic: being a young woman, an
ethnic minority, daring to raise her voice against state repression,> said Hadi
Ghaemi, executive director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI). <She
should be immediately released to tend to her deteriorating health,> he added.
<Her situation, which mirrors the cases of countless other political prisoners
in Iran, highlights the urgent need for international action to hold the Islamic
Republic accountable for its gross violations of human rights,> he added.
Sakineh Parvaneh, a 35-year-old Iranian Kurdish political activist hailing from
Quchan in the Khorasan Razavi province of northeast Iran, has endured
incarceration in multiple Iranian prisons infamous for their deplorable living
conditions, and tortured in the custody of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
(IRGC) as well as the Intelligence Ministry, since September 2019.
Presently, she is serving a 7.5-year sentence imposed on her following a sham
trial, where she was denied access to legal counsel and the ability to prepare a
defense.
Long History of Unlawful Imprisonments, Torture
Parvaneh was most recently arrested in April 2023, just after her release from
Mashhad Central Prison on February 15, 2023. This release followed the state's
purported general amnesty, which was followed by the re-imprisonment of many
political prisoners shortly thereafter. Previously, she had been imprisoned
since September 2019 and subjected to torture in state custody during transfers
between prisons. Ethnic minorities in Iran face institutionalized discrimination
in the judicial system, often receiving disproportionately severe prison and
death sentences. According to Parvaneh's own account in a letter obtained by
CHRI, security agents detained her in the fall of 2019 while visiting relatives
in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, and transferred her to the Iranian border, where she
endured torture. In the letter detailing her case, she recounted being severely
beaten and having her toenails broken. She resisted pressure to write and sign a
false statement denouncing Kurdish parties and claiming voluntary surrender to
Iranian forces, but her captors fabricated the statement and coerced her
fingerprint onto it. Parvaneh spent 10 days in detention centers in Marivan and
Sanandaj, Kurdistan province, before being transferred to Tehran's Evin Prison.
In the letter, she emphasized that she was physically and psychologically
tortured during detention in wards 2-A and 209, controlled by the IRGC and the
Ministry of Intelligence respectively, as well as Evin's Women's Ward.
Lawyer Who Tried to Defend her Also Imprisoned
During Parvaneh's initial arrest in 2019, Payam Derafshan, the lawyer attempting
to represent her, was also arrested on fabricated national security charges and
tortured in state custody. A source familiar with Parvaneh's case informed CHRI,
<Parvaneh was Derafshan’s final client before his arrest. When Derafshan
attempted to follow up on the case, he was too incapacitated by torture to
speak. Despite his request for legal representation for his client due to his
own prosecution, no lawyer was appointed for her.> According to a source with
detailed knowledge of the case, in April 2020, Sakineh Parvaneh was transferred
to Qarchak Prison in south Tehran for expressing dissent through writing and
chanting slogans in Evin Prison. After enduring four days of solitary
confinement, she was then transferred to Aminabad psychiatric hospital. On July
4, 2020, Parvaneh was once again transferred to Evin Prison with visible bruises
on her body. A month later, she was sentenced to an additional two years in
prison for allegedly <creating disturbance inside prison,> as reported by the
source speaking on the condition of anonymity for security reasons. In November
2020, she was moved from Evin to prisons in Quchan and Mashhad cities, located
in the Khorasan Razavi province. During her time in Quchan and Mashhad prisons,
Parvaneh was repeatedly taken to the IRGC's Intelligence Organization's
detention center in Mashhad where she endured physical and psychological torture
in attempts to coerce confessions, according to the source.
To protest against the abuse, Parvaneh resorted to multiple hunger strikes.
In May 2020, after another trial in which she was denied counsel and due
process, at Branch 26 of the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Tehran, presided by
Judge Iman Afshari, Parvaneh was sentenced to five years in prison and banned
from political group membership for three years. Despite being released in
February 2019, Parvaneh was rearrested in April 2023 in Mashhad by IRC
intelligence agents. Following 10 days of interrogation at the detention center,
she was transferred to Mashhad’s Vakilabad Prison. The purported <evidence>
presented by the IRGC's intelligence organization against Parvaneh was a video
on social media allegedly showing her at a memorial for Ali Mozaffari, who was
killed amid major anti-state protests in Quchan during the 'Woman, Life,
Freedom' uprising of 2022, which erupted across Iran in response to the killing
in state custody of a young Kurdish woman just three days after her arrest for
alleged hijab violations. Denied the ability to prepare a defense, on November
6, 2023, Branch 1 of the Islamic Revolutionary Court in Mashhad sentenced her to
7.5 years in prison on charges including <propaganda against the state,>
<assembly and collusion against national security,> and <insulting the leader of
the Islamic Republic of Iran.> This sentence was upheld on appeal. <A lawyer in
Mashhad had agreed to represent Parvaneh in the trial, but the presiding judges
in Branch 1 of the Islamic Revolutionary Court and Branch 35 of the Appeals
Court prevented him from defending her,> revealed the source.
Denied Critically Needed Medical Treatment
Parvaneh suffered harsh conditions during her time in Vakilabad Prison,
endangering her health, the source added. Despite her deteriorating physical and
psychological condition, prison authorities denied her access to medical
treatment for respiratory and heart diseases in December 2023. In addition,
authorities in Mashhad restricted her phone calls to be conducted only in the
presence of guards, ordering her to speak only in Persian, rather than her
mother tongue, Kurdish. Such actions violate international agreements, including
the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, which require the Islamic Republic to recognize and
protect mother tongues. Despite these obligations, the government only permits
mother languages to be taught and spoken in restricted circumstances and
routinely intimidates and imprisons mother language activists. On April 3, 2024,
Parvaneh was transferred from Vakilabad to Evin Prison for unknown reasons. <Sakineh's
case epitomizes the reality of Iran's judicial system, where basic rights are
brutally discarded at the bidding of the intelligence and security agencies,>
said Ghaemi. <As an extremely vulnerable member of society, Parvaneh lacks
representation or defense against the egregious rights violations she continues
to endure,> he added. <Speaking her name, sharing her story, demanding her
release, whether you're a politician or an average citizen, is imperative,> he
said.>>
