F riday August, 13th, 2010 – Translation by Negar Irani – Summary: The cries of a political prisoner being severely beaten and tortured could be heard throughout the corridors at Evin’s ward 240, resulting in mounting psychological pressure on the 16 political prisoners who were transferred to solitary confinement from Evin’s ward 350 more than two weeks ago.

Kaleme: Last night, three guards entered Evin’s solitary confinement ward 240, attacking and severely beating a prisoner being held in solitary confinement in this ward.

According to reports received by Kaleme, the three prison guards torturing this prisoner were Ziyai, Karbalai and Mahmoudi, guards who are well known for insulting prisoners, particularly political prisoners at Evin’s ward 350.

The cries of this prisoner in agony could be heard throughout the corridors at Evin’s ward 240 until midnight, resulting in mounting psychological pressure on the 16 political prisoners who were transferred to solitary confinement from Evin’s ward 350 more than two weeks ago.

The incredible thing for me was that so many Iranians worldwide took the time to care about us despite the thousands of other political prisoners they have to worry about. “I’m an Iranian boy ashamed for what our government did to three American hikers,” another message on Facebook says. “I want you to know Iranian people are with you and against their own government. Iran’s regime is not chosen by Iranian people. They kill and torture us and we are all in a very big prison named Iran.”
