Political and civil prisoners continue to protest their conditions in Iranian prisons

Protests by political and civil prisoners against their conditions in prisons and the authorities' disregard for the principle of prisoner segregation continue. Recently, a number of female political prisoners have stated in separate messages that they do not have the right to breathe properly and drink ordinary water, and in some cases, they have been threatened with death by a number of prisoners convicted of common crimes.

The situation of political and civil prisoners in the prisons of the Islamic Republic and the failure to implement the principle of separation of prisoners has been one of the main demands of the prisoners, which has always been ignored by the prison authorities. Many political and civil prisoners believe that their transfer to the dangerous prisoners' section is intended to punish and increase pressure on them, and in some cases, they are even denied the right to breathe healthy air and drink plain water, among other things.

Taghi Rahmani, a political activist and husband of imprisoned human rights activist Narges Mohammadi, tweeted, quoting his wife, that in Qarchak Prison in Varamin, the daily needs of every human being, namely the right to breathe healthy air and drink plain water, have been denied.

Shakila Monfared, a political prisoner in Qarchak Prison, said in an audio file obtained by Voice of America that she has received death threats and that she feels unsafe in prison.
