The \u201cFree Republic\u201d website of the United States studied the situation of political prisoners in Iran. \u201cFree Republic\u201d \u00a0published an article<\/a>\u00a0entitled \u201cLawyer says regime security organization transferring Iranian political prisoners to a mental asylum in \u201cnew project.\u201d There are also new methods being used against prisoners.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpts from this report are below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the transfer of at least two Iranian political prisoners to psychiatric hospitals, a lawyer said today that his client was also forcibly transferred to a mental hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iranian attorney Saeed Dehghan said this was a \u201cnew project\u201d by the regime\u2019s security institutions to control and restrict detained civil rights activists and political prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of my clients was forcibly hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital,\u201d he tweeted today without mentioning the name of the political prisoner because \u201chis family did not agree to his name being made public\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before this, Iranian political prisoners Behnam Mahjoubi<\/a> and Kianoush Sanjari were forcibly transferred to mental hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, security forces have forcibly transferred many political and civil rights activists to psychiatric hospitals. The most recent case was detained Dervish Behnam Mahjoubi. His wife said that after he suffered seizures and half of his body became paralyzed because his medication was not given to him, he was taken to Amin Abad psychiatric hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahjoubi was detained in Evin Prison on June 20. The prisoner of conscience was beaten by other prisoners and went on hunger strike in protest to the attack. Kianoush Sanjari, a student activist, revealed in August that he was forcibly taken to a psychiatric hospital six times while serving his sentence last year where he was given \u201celectric shock treatment\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other political prisoners who were taken to psychiatric hospitals include Hashem Khastar<\/a>, a retired teacher and union member, Saha Mortezai<\/a>, an elite student, and Hengameh Shahidi, a journalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transferring prisoners to mental asylums is a common method of suppression used against political prisoners in some countries including Russia.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
