Women's rights activist Neda Naji transferred back to Evin Prison

Neda Naji, a women's rights activist and civil rights activist imprisoned in Iran, was once again transferred from Qarchak Prison in Varamin to Evin Prison.

Jamal Ameli, the husband of Neda Naji, wrote on his personal Twitter page on Wednesday, August 6: "Today, Neda was transferred from Qarchak Prison to the women's ward of Evin Prison."

Neda Naji, a imprisoned civil activist, was arrested by security agents on International Labor Day (May 1) and transferred to Qarchak Prison in Varamin. Just a few days after her arrest, she was transferred from Qarchak Prison to Ward 209 of the Ministry of Intelligence in Evin Prison for further investigation.

This civil activist was transferred to Qarchak Prison just a few weeks after being transferred to Evin Prison, upon completion of his re-interrogation period, and has recently been the target of several attacks in this prison.

Previously, Jamal Ameli, Mrs. Naji's husband, announced on Twitter on Saturday, July 6, that the civil activist had been beaten once by a prisoner and once by prison staff and had been taken to the hospital.

According to him, Neda Naji has suffered vision problems as a result of these attacks and blows to her head.

On the other hand, this civil activist was also attacked and injured by a prisoner who was transferred from Aminabad Mental Hospital to Qarchak Prison in early August of this year, but refused to go to the hospital due to the bad behavior of the staff and nurses.

The US State Department criticized the arrests of Iranian labor activists following the arrests on International Labor Day in Iran.

The US State Department has said that the Islamic Republic regime could have paid the salaries of workers in Iran with the money it has spent in Syria.
