The women in charge of the prison, Sima Pourmand was also personally involved in the brutal attack on defenseless women prisoners.
The Iranian Resistance calls on all international organizations and bodies in defense of human rights and particularly those protecting women’s rights to condemn the brutal attack.
The Iranian Resistance reiterates that the shameless silence and inaction on the part of Western governments on the Iranian regime’s brutal April 17 attack on political prisoners in Ward 350 of Tehran’s Evin prison has emboldened the clerical regime’s authorities in other prisons in Iran to carry out raids.
