The section eight of Ahwaz Karoon prison where the political prisoners are being held witnessed a series of altercations on Wednesday May 8th,2013 between the Arab AlAhwazi prisoner named Masood Daghlawy with one of the prison officials.
The reliable sources confirmed that the altercations took place after an insult and threat by a prison official toward an Arab AlAhwazi prisoner named Masood Daghlawy. The verbal reaction of the AlAhwazy prisoner to mentioned insults and threats were followed by his torture and transfer to an unknown location. The prisoner has been sentenced to a 8 years prison term for his cultural activities on the social networks and the caricature drawing of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
The 1st paragraph of 10th article of the international political and social rights treaty emphasizes on the rights and justifiable treatment of the prisoners by officials, and the governments of Iran have always ignored such international law.
The sources have also reported more tough restrictions by the prison officials for the family visits and also the use of insults toward the prisoner’s families.
