Political prisoner in critical state in 9th day of hunger strike
June 6, 2010 - According to reports, the physical state of political prisoner Hamid Haeri, PMOI supporter has become critical. He has been on a hunger strike for close to 9 days refusing to take food and medicine in his solitary cell.
This 57 year old political prisoner went on a hunger strike on May 27 in protest to being transferred to solitary and his condition is reportedly critical. His life is in grave danger.
Interrogators of the Ministry of Intelligence ordered his transfer to solitary in cellblock 240 to put pressure on him. He has been kept in solitary for 16 days.
Since his transfer, his family has not had any information on his condition. The Haeri family went to the 28rh branch of the Revolutionary Court asking for the reason behind his transfer, but a person identified as Mojtabayi who is the head of Mohammad Moqiseh’s office told them that ‘even if you bring a letter from the leader, he will not be brought out of solitary until the Intelligence Agency allows is’. Mohammad Moqiseh, known as Naserian, was a member of the Death Commission responsible for the massacre of political prisoners in 1988.
Haeri is suffering from a severe heart condition and has had two heart attacks. He also sustained injuries such as a fractured skull and a concussion in a car accident before his arrest.
This accident also left him with an injured pelvis rendering him unable to walk without crutches.
This 57 year old political prisoner was arrested on December 6, 2009 after intelligence agents raided his home and was taken to cellblock 209 in Evin Prison. He was kept in solitary for 74 days under physical and psychological torture and threats by his interrogators. His interrogators threatened him that they would transfer his wife and daughter to the notorious Kahrizak Detention Center. He was then taken to cellblock 350 in Evin Prison. Haeri was recently sentenced to 15 years of prison to be served in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj by the 28th branch of the Revolutionary Court.
He was also a political prisoner in the 80’s and was detained and tortured for 3 years. His interrogator in the 80’s was Mohammad Moqiseh who presided over his recent trial.

June 6, 2010 - Cellblock 4 in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj in which political prisoners like Dr. Saied Masuri, Ali Saremi, Hood Yazerlu, Misaq Yazdan Nejad, Saleh Kohandel and Moezi are kept, is very limited on the grounds of sanitary facilities, food and other minimum facilities which has led to serious problems for prisoners.
The ‘principle of segregation and classification of prisoners’ has not been implemented in this cellblock and prisoners with various crimes are kept in one place. There is only one bathroom for every 300 prisoners.
The lack of restrooms and bathing facilities has led to the increase of vermin and prisoners come down with various diseases.
In this ward and especially in hall 10 where many political prisoners are detained, none of the prisoners have access to books, radio or television.
Families of political prisoners can only see their loved ones for 15 to 20 minutes after weeks or even months of running about for a visit. They can only visit political prisoners from behind a glass partition.
Dr. Saied Masuri who was arrested on January 2001 in Dezful is one of the prisoners in Hall 10. He was sentenced to death in the initial sentence and review court and was on death row for years. In the 10 years of his incarceration, he spent 3 years in solitary cells in Tehran and Dezful. His death sentence was lowered to a life in prison after (international) pressure. In the past 10 years, he was not granted even a one day leave. Masuri was mentally and physically tortured while first arrested and while in solitary.
