Woman detained in Iran shares message from inside her jail


(MENAFN) A woman confined in Iran since 2009 has shared a message from inside her “hell-like” jail, it was reported on Monday.
Maryam Akbari Monfared, who is 47 years old, and a mother to three daughters, was arrested more than 13 years ago for backing the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran.

She has been away from her children since her detention, and her three brothers and sister were murdered by the government, according to the Independent.

“As of December 29, 2022, 13 years have passed since I was separated from my four-year-old Sarah and my two 12-year-old daughters on that winter midnight,” Monfared wrote in her message.

“Without giving me a chance to say goodbye to my loved ones, they took me to Evin prison to give some explanations, and made the ridiculous promise that ‘you will return to your children in the morning.’

“This is not a 4,000-page story, but the pure reality of a life under the domination of fascists who imposed it on us while we refused to give in. On this side of the bars, in the dark desert of torture and oppression, as far as one can see – even where one cannot see – there is just vileness and brutality,” she continued.
