Iran takes away political prisoners’ visitation rights
June 14, 2010 - The prosecutor of Tehran has cut off all in person visits of political prisoners in Evin Prison for an unlimited time period.
According to this order, from now on, the families of political prisoners are only allowed to visit their loved ones in prison from behind a glass partition, meaning they can talk to them via a telephone.
Ordinary prisoners are allowed in person visits once a month but this right has been taken away from political prisoners.
Families can only have in person visits with a special order from the prosecutor.
The children, sisters and brothers of prisoners will be banned from in person visits even if their families have obtained the right of in person visits from the prosecutor.
According to reports, these limitations have been put in place to prevent prisoners from giving out messages or notes to sources outside of prison.
