Thursday May 20, 2010 22:17 by Ben Lewis - Hands Off the People of Iran
Ben Lewis gives background details about the hungerstrike undertaken by imprisoned Iranian film maker Jafar Panahi and of the solidarity work being carried out on his behalf. Full text at link. As we have reported previously, Panahi has been subjected to rigorous interrogation in jail. The Evin interrogators appear to be pursuing the tried and tested approach of bombarding him with the same questions over and over again in order to force inconsistencies in his answers, backing this up with the soul-destroying conditions and humiliating treatment for which Evin prison has become infamous. |
