NCRI –\u00a0The political prisoner \u2018Mohammad-Saber Malek Raeesi\u2019 writes a revealing letter to Asma Jahangir, the UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, describing parts of the inhumane conditions as well as Iranian regime\u2019s medieval tortures in prisons.<\/p>\n
Currently spending his eighth year in Ardebil Prison in exile and 20th day of hunger strike, Malek Raeesi writes in his letter: \u201cdue to communicating and meeting with my brother who lives in Pakistan, I was arrested on 24 September 2009 at the age of 17, and then sentenced to 15 years in Ardebil Prison in exile.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been suffering the worst types of tortures and inhumane conditions from the first moment after being arrested\u201d, adds Malek Raeesi.<\/p>\n
\u201cI spent 21 months in intelligence detention center in Zahedan, suffering the worst types of physical and psychological tortures despite my young age. I was even tied to the torture bed, or \u2018the miracle bed\u2019 as they say, into forced confessions. I spent several consecutive weeks in quarantine in a 1.5 square meter cell with my hands and feet chained.\u201d<\/p>\n
While cracking down the protesters in ward five on May 25,2012, I was kicked, punched and beaten by electric batons and ended up in a solitary cell with a broken head and nose and a body covered in blood. I was then faced with the world\u2019s worst torture until next morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later in his revealing letter, he points to his being sent into exile in Ardebil Prison, saying \u201cever since I arrived at Ardebil Prison, I was unlawfully prohibited by Prison\u2019s intelligence agents from having phone calls or meeting my relatives for 15 months. I was also repeatedly subjected to harassment for false excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Concluding his letter, the political prisoner Mohammad-Saber Malek Raeesi asks the UN special rapporteur: \u201cplease consider the situation of us doomed convicts and families being oppressed by Ministry of Intelligence, Prisons Organization and the cruel judiciary, and we beg you to pay attention to these forgotten prisoners who are asking for help.\u201d<\/p>\n
