9 October 2025<\/strong> Breathing in Confinement \u2013<\/strong> Women political prisoners who had been transferred to Qarchak Varamin Prison after the Israeli military attack on Evin Prison and the destruction of parts of its facilities were collectively returned to Ward 6 of Evin Prison on Thursday, 9 October 2025.<\/p>\n According to Breathing in Confinement, the news outlet of the Prisoners\u2019 Rights League in Iran, Qarchak Varamin\u2014repeatedly criticised by human-rights bodies for its inhumane conditions\u2014lacked even minimum health and medical standards, and severe overcrowding created an emergency situation. Reports indicate that as a result, at least three women prisoners lost their lives: Somayeh Rashidi (political prisoner) and Jamileh Azizi and Soudabeh Asadi (prisoners convicted of financial offences).<\/p>\n Repeated power cuts, very poor-quality food, the presence of insects and vermin, and a serious shortage of basic sanitary facilities\u2014including baths and toilets\u2014constitute clear violations of the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Nelson Mandela Rules).<\/p>\n Despite these appalling conditions, systematic pressure on political prisoners\u2014including security-driven case fabrication, restrictions on access to legal counsel, and ongoing threats\u2014has continued at the hands of security agencies and the judiciary, representing a blatant violation of fundamental human rights, the right to a fair trial, and inherent human dignity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 9 October 2025 News category: Prisoners – Breathing in Confinement – Women political prisoners who had been transferred to Qarchak Varamin Prison after the Israeli military attack on Evin Prison and the destruction of parts of its facilities were collectively returned to Ward 6 of Evin Prison on Thursday, 9 October 2025.
