Women of Iran’s Evin prison speak out

On Instagram, Hasti Amiri, a women’s rights activist, announced that she had been sentenced to three years in prison by a Tehran court, Maghrebi Week reported on September 1st.

Amiri was taken to Iran’s notorious Evin prison, where she was detained for one night. She said: “Speaking about the situation of
prisoners and Evin prison has also been considered spreading falsehoods.”

Most of the inmates in the prison’s women’s wing, are being held on political charges. The 36-year-old hairdresser Nasim said that she faced unethical solitary confinement, interrogations and humiliation in Evin.
