Sepideh Qolyan says she was also "threatened with sexual assault" by the head of the women's prison.
After publishing a description of the unfavorable conditions for women in Bushehr Prison, Sepideh Gholian shared a video on her Instagram page, revealing more aspects of the difficult conditions in Iranian prisons.
The civil activist sentenced to prison posted this video on his Instagram on Sunday, September 11, writing: "Life in hell and resistance in the heart of savagery. This is Sepidar Prison, Bushehr Central Prison, Qarchak Prison in Varamin, this is the prison of the Islamic Republic. Here we are, and there are assaults, cameras, forced confessions, deception, dramatic lies, and a hundred times the organized lies are being pounded into us and the people."
In this video, Ms. Qolyan once again emphasized the assault on female prisoners in Bushehr Central Prison and the letter she sent to the prosecutor, saying that she was also threatened with sexual assault by the head of the women's ward's counseling center and beaten by officers after protesting against a film that was taken of this civil activist and other prisoners in Bushehr Prison.
The civil activist, noting that she had been repeatedly threatened with "death and rape," added that the head of the counseling center had threatened her with death and said, "I have so much power that I can kill."
Sepideh Qolyan says in this video that the prosecutor's representative had said before transferring her to Bushehr prison: "Your funeral will arrive in Khuzestan."
He added that he was also severely beaten by a group of prisoners on the orders of the head of the prison.
In this video, Sepideh Gholian also refers to the death of a female prisoner, stating that despite the poor physical condition of this prisoner, no special attention was paid to her health by prison officials.
This civil activist, who was sent on leave from Bushehr Prison on August 19, has been posting a series of tweets on her Twitter in recent days, calling Bushehr Central Prison a "forgotten hell" and writing that women prisoners in this prison are subjected to the "most brutal tortures" and are held in the "most inhumane conditions possible" "for the crime of being women and prisoners."
This information is being published by Sepideh Gholian on social media, just a few weeks after the shocking videos hacked from Evin Prison cameras were released. In releasing this information, Ms. Gholian says that she had repeatedly asked the prosecutor's office to examine the prison cameras to get the truth.
