The guards beat him until he was unconscious. He was transferred unconscious to the prison clinic and there is no further report on his condition.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sunni prisoners have been protesting the prison\u2019s discrimination, human rights abuses, and ill-treatment of prisoners. They\u2019ve also been protesting the prohibition of medical supplies and health materials, the poor food quality, and the jacked-up prices of low-quality items in the prison shop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How it all started<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This mistreatment of prisoners started as soon as the regime got into power and the mullahs have since used over 70 methods of torture, including amputating hands and feet, gouging out eyes, pressing prisoners\u2019 heads with the vice, holding prisoners in cage-like cells for up to seven months, and rape.<\/p>\n<p>In 1986, Ayatollah Montazeri, Khomeini&#8217;s heir-apparent, asked: \u201cDo you know many were killed under torture by interrogators? Do you know many prisoners were blinded, deafened, paralyzed or suffer chronic pains due to severe torture?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since 1979, the regime has executed 120,000 political prisoners, including even 13-year-olds. Some 30,000 were massacred in a two-month period in 1988 on the orders of regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini for supporting the main democratic opposition People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PMOI or Mujahedin-e Khalq, MEK<\/a>). Prison guards have even extracted prisoners&#8217; blood before executing them on Khomeini&#8217;s orders.<\/p>\n<p>On December 23, 2000, the Supreme Leader\u2019s representative in Urmia, a man called Mollahassani, quoted Khomeini as saying: \u201cIf the prisoners are even one million, I will order to open fire on them and massacre them in one night.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This horrific treatment continued on. In Kahrizak prison in 2009, there was an unbelievable scale of executions and brutal tortures in the wake of major anti-regime protests. In 2018, there were over 7,000 arrests of those taking part in the 2017-2018 uprisings, according to Amnesty International, and many suspicious deaths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By&nbsp;Mansoureh Galestan An Iranian political prisoner committed suicide on Saturday in the notorious Gohardasht Prison saying that he could no longer stand the inhumane treatment, and the authorities are trying [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":53296,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178],"class_list":{"0":"post-26346","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-human-rights","8":"tag-save"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
