27 women prisoners in Evin jail subjected to inhumane punishment

In Tehran, 27 women prisoners in Evin jail have been sentenced to "three weeks of deprivation of basic rights." Among those affected are Kurdish activists Warisha Muradi and Pakshan Azizi.

According to media sources from East Kurdistan, the administration of Evin Prison has imposed a three-week punishment on 27 women, depriving them of their fundamental rights. 

During this period, the prisoners will be denied visitation rights and will not be allowed to purchase food and beverages. 

It was reported that the women were punished for singing after the killing of two notorious Iranian judges, known for their ruthless and arbitrary rulings.

The targeted women prisoners include Kurdish activists Warisha Muradi and Pakshan Azizi. 

The two judges, Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini, were assassinated in Tehran on 18 January 2025. 

Judge Moghiseh was blacklisted by the European Union in 2011 and later by the United States in 2019 for human rights violations.
