http://hrdai.blogspot.com/2010/09/blog-post_3423.html

According to reports, intelligence interrogators are putting severe pressure on Iranian Dutch citizen Zahra Bahrami to confess in court to the fabricated charge of possessing and selling narcotics.

This political prisoner has been under severe pressure and threatened in the past weeks in the notorious cellblock 209 in Evin Prison to confess in court. After protests from the government of Holland, human rights organizations and the Dutch media, intelligence agents are trying to belittle her political charges and bring to attention false narcotics charges to give her a heavier sentence in this way.

Bahrami was taken to see Salavati, the head of the 15^th branch of the Revolutionary Court on September 8. She refused to talk in court without her lawyer, Nasrin Sutodeh and her trial was postponed. Salavati stressed on the charge of possessing and selling narcotics and the heavy sentences that she would receive because of it in this court session.

This political prisoner was once again summoned to the 15^th branch of the Revolutionary Court on September 11 and Salavati announced to her that she would be tried on September

23. Her lawyer is currently in prison and Bahrami does not have a lawyer.

This 45 year old political prisoner is a mother of two and has dual Dutch-Iranian nationality. She came to Iran to see her child and was arrested in the Ashura protests. She was then mentally and physically tortured while detained. Intelligence interrogators in the Sepah Cellblock in Gohardasht Prison and in cellblock 209 in Evin Prison have put her under severe pressure and torture and forced her into giving televised confessions against herself which was broadcasted from state-run TV. These interrogators have used these confessions against her in court. (Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran – Sep. 20, 2010)

Siamak Qaderi, a former reporter and journalist for the state run IRNA (Islamic Republic News Agency) is under pressure to confess to false charges in Evin Prison’s cellblock 209.

He was arrested on July 27, 2010 after security and intelligence agents raided his home and took him to Evin Prison for creating a weblog called ‘Our IRNA’ and publishing posts of his eyewitness accounts of the popular protests in the green movement.

He is still kept in prison without being given his minimum rights and is under pressure to confess to fabricated charges.

Despite claims by the officials of the Islamic Republic that prisoners’ families are not put under pressure, his wife and child are not able to access their bank accounts or use their credit cards…

Qaderi who officially worked as an editor, journalist and reporter for IRNA for 18 years was arrested by security forces after pressure from the head of this news agency while resting in his home and was thrown in solitary from the very beginning.

Immediately after his arrest, the assistant head of news at IRNA said in a short report in this news agency that ‘Siamak Q. a pro-green seditionist journalist was arrested on immoral charges’. (Jaras Website – Sep. 20, 2010)
