Nargis Mohmmadi, human rights advocate
and a political prisoner in Iran, has protested being banned from any phone
calls with her children and husband.
The
Center of Human Rights Advocates reported that Mohammadi has described her
family’s conditions and how her twins have left the country.
“I have not been allowed any contact with my
children from then on, after they left two months ago,” she said.
She
says her follow ups in this regard have been useless and authorities have said
senior officials are not allowing such a phone call. This human rights activist
said there is no phone in the women’s ward of Evin Prison where 20 women and
mothers are held. Only under very specific conditions is a telephone call
allowed in a building outside of the ward, in the office of prison’s guards
unit under the watchful eyes of security agents, and this itself may only be provided
3 or 4 times a year, she said. Despite all this she has been deprived of this
very limited phone call, she added.
Mohammadi
is the vice president of the Center of Human Rights Advocates, a member of a
step-by-step campaign to revoke the death sentence and Women Citizenship
Center, and head of the Iran Peace Council Executive Committee. She was
arrested on May 5 by security-judiciary forces without any arrest warrant.
Following this arrest her young children were sent to be with their father in
France.
