The official death count declared by the regime stands at 25,986, around a fifth of the actual figure. \u201cIn Tehran, it would at least take two to three weeks in the previous periods for our stats to double. However, during this period the number of new patients doubled in a very short period,\u201d said Health Minister Saied Namaki on Tuesday. \u201cWe are forecasting that we will be witnessing more deaths than in previous periods,\u201d he added, according to the state-run Entekhab daily. Kurdish Political Prisoner Relocated to Notorious Prison in Kermanshah Kurdish political prisoner Zeinab Jalalian has been relocated from the Central Prison of Kerman to the notorious Dieselabad Prison of Kermanshah, western Iran. Kurdish political prisoner Zeinab Jalalian had been detained for three months in solitary confinement in the quarantine ward of the Central Prison of Kerman in southern Iran. She was eventually relocated to Kermanshah Prison on September 24. Her family said prison agents had cuffed her hands and feet, taking her from one prison to the other for two days without giving her enough food or water. She was taken to Urmia and Kermanshah, and subsequently to the Evin Courthouse. Then, she was taken to Qarchak Prison. Ms. Jalalian contracted the Covid-19 disease in Qarchak Prison where she did not receive medical care. She was on hunger strike when she was transferred to Kerman.
