Early last week, around 30 members of the Iranian security forces raided the home of 26-year-old Sepideh Gholian, a journalist and labour rights activist.
She was forcibly removed from her home as other agents took away the mobile phones of every member of her family, revealed Iranian journalist and women’s rights campaigner Masih Alinejad in an article in the Washington Post.
Civil society activist Gholian, who came to prominence both internationally and in Iran for her tender, honest and hand-illustrated prison diaries, has described conditions at Bushehr Central Prison as a “forgotten hell”.
Women prisoners in this ward are being held under the most brutal and inhuman conditions possible,” she wrote.
