All prison visits were cancelled for political prisoners detained in ward 209 of Evin prison.
HRA- The prisoners’ rights unit of HRA reports that since yesterday several political prisoners detained in ward 209 of Evin, have called their families telling them not to go to Evin on Sunday.
Families of political prisoners go to Evin on Sundays, to visit their loved ones. In recent months the families have faced numerous difficulties in order to visit the prisoners. Often, the interrogators oppose scheduled prison visits. Also, the interrogators refuse systematically to allow prison visits ordered by the Tehran Prosecutor, thus depriving the families of their natural rights.
The refusal by judicial and prison officials to give any reason for the cancellation has made the families extremely worried.
