\u00a0NCRI –\u00a0<\/strong>A heart-breaking letter from an Iranian political prisoner exposes the medieval tortures in Khamenei\u2019s prisons.<\/p>\n Afsaneh Bayazidi, a Kurdish political prisoner, and a student from Bukan, was sentenced to four years in prison and exile in Kerman prison by Mahabad\u2019s revolutionary court.<\/p>\n Her crime? Creating propaganda against the system and insulting the Supreme Leader.<\/p>\n Bayazidi\u2019s letter states that because she comes from the deprived Kurdistan region, she is used to injustice and oppression from the regime but she will not stay silent.<\/p>\n She wrote: \u201cDuring the 90 days that I was in detention, they have tortured me with every possible method and every means. In the first few days of detention, the torture was so much that I could not even walk. My feet and my back were bruised and turned black. I was beaten so much that my mouth and my nose were bleeding. They did not have an iota of mercy on me.\u201d<\/p>\n Bayazidi said that when she pleaded for mercy or called out to God, she was told that there was no god in the Intelligence Agency.<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cAt least twice they hung me by feet and by hands for several hours. In all the time that I was detained and interrogated, I was either tortured or blindfold and my eyes are now damaged and I feel that I have low eyesight and dimness. For 4 years I have been having breath shortness, and they did not give me my (oxygen) capsule to torment me more and extract confessions.\u201d<\/p>\n She said that not even animals are treated in the way that the Regime treat her.<\/p>\n She wrote: \u201cI was forced to make false confessions so that they could make cases against me and succeed in their inhumane tactics. I don\u2019t have anything to lose. I was tortured and threatened with rape and imprisonment in exile and they did the worst tortures on me. I have no fear now and I am not afraid anymore so it is my right to explain the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n She is currently denied phone calls and meetings; she snuck this letter out via a friend in order to expose the Regime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NCRI – A heart-breaking letter from an Iranian political prisoner exposes the medieval tortures in Khamenei’s prisons.
