The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) Women<\/a> Committee reported<\/a> recently that Amnesty International had posted a tweet about how bad conditions were for women being detained in Semnan prison, as well as detailing how one prisoner at the prison, Maryam Akbari Monfared<\/a>, was receiving ill-treatment for seeking the truth and justice for her siblings\u2019 murders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amnesty International: Maryam Akbari Monfared ill-treated for seeking truth and justice<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The post on Twitter read, \u201cWomen in Semnan Prison in Iran are enduring cruel conditions including poor access to flush toilets, shower, hygiene items and medical care for infections and lice infestation. @Mmhajmohammadi must allow inspections by international monitors including Javaid Rehman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NCRI Women Committee<\/a> said, \u201cAmnesty International also issued an urgent action <\/a>statement on August 27, in which it raised concern over the condition of political prisoner Maryam Akbari Monfared. Amnesty said Maryam Akbari Monfared was \u2018ill-treated for seeking truth and justice\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March of this year, 12 years into her imprisonment sentence, Monfared was abruptly relocated from Evin Prison and banished to the Prison of Semnan. She suffers from Thyroid malfunction and joint rheumatism and is unlikely to be receiving any care for her medical issues while she is being detained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amnesty International explained how Monfared, since her transference to Semnan prison, has been held in cruel and inhumane conditions, seemingly a punishment for letters she wrote which condemned the Iranian regime\u2019s human rights violations. She is also seeking answers and justice for her siblings who were forcibly abducted and executed in secret in 1988<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
