Pressures and threats against Zeinab Jalalian by the Iranian regime’s security apparatus has escalated to a new scope.
Officials in Khuy Central Prison, located in West Azerbaijan Province in northwestern Iran, are refusing to allow a medical leave for this Kurdish political prisoner. Jalalian’s lawyer has said not agreeing with medical leave for this prisoner is very much related to demands made by the regime for her to agree with a televised confession.
Jalalian has been held behind bars for 8 years without one day of medical leave.
So-called televised confessions in Iran under the mullahs’ rule, in which dissidents and prisoners are coerced into criticizing their previous actions, are obtained under force and torture. Their footage is then aired in state-run TV networks including Press TV, Sahar and Jam-e Jam.
