On September 15, Mahsa Amini<\/a>, a 22-years girl, lost her life after being severely beaten while in the custody of the morality police for not being \u201cimproperly veiled.\u201d Mahsa\u2019s tragic death is the tip of an iceberg of women\u2019s unbearable conditions in Iran under the ruling misogyny.<\/p>\n A recent report published by the Iran Human Rights Society<\/a> (IranHRS), reveals some damning information about the deplorable condition of female prisoners in Qarchak prison in Varamin, near Tehran. The prison, which itself is a place to punish prisoners, possesses a subdivision for punishing inmates more severely.<\/p>\n \u201cIf women prisoners disobey the prisons\u2019 rules, they are transferred to the Aminabad sanatorium. Death row inmates are secretly executed, prisoners starve and suffer from lack of hygiene,\u201d the report reads in part.<\/p>\n The report came from a former Qarchak prisoner, who’s recently left Iran, sharing her horrific experience. She said, \u201cAfter a month or two in Qarchak, you forget once had an ordinary life! There, you live a primitive life.\u201d<\/p>\n The survivor underlines that Qarchak prison is a large and inhabitable warehouse turned into a prison.<\/p>\n \u201cOrdinary practices are prohibited and considered a crime at Qarchak prison<\/a>, such as cutting hair. Many inmates were punished by being sent to Aminabad or staying long periods in solitary confinement.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn August 2021, a lady climbed the barbed wire and started screaming in agony, saying she wanted to kill herself. They had executed her son that morning, and her husband was on death row. She was condemned to 17 years in prison and had to stay in prison for another nine years. She had lost hope after her son\u2019s death. Guards took her away, and prison officials said she had been released. But they had sent her to Aminabad,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n According to this prisoner, food is also very scarce in Qarchak prison. \u201cPrisoners are always starving. The dinner ration<\/a> of every prisoner is a frozen, boiled egg, a third of a potato, and a piece of bread. Those inmates who do not receive help from the outside cannot purchase anything.\u201d<\/p>\n But those who purchase food items do not have a better situation, as they cannot cook. \u201cThe prison doesn\u2019t have any stove or cooking facilities. So, inmates who purchase canned food are forced to eat them without boiling them. Therefore, many of them suffer from various diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n #Iran<\/a>: Inmates already deprived of their minimal #humanrights<\/a> now face new problems. Qarchak Prison sewage has overflown the prison yard and onto the wards\u2019 corridor. Drinking water is also cut off, and the prison authorities are not taking action. https:\/\/t.co\/Ev9bcmn0dk<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/iGHF27ItiM<\/a><\/p>\n — Women's Committee NCRI (@womenncri) June 13, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
