Iran - Political prisoner writes to UN about abuses in Iran

NCRI - Iranian political prisoner, Hassan Sadeqi, who is currently behind bars in Gohardasht (Rajai Shahr) Prison in Karaj, has written an open letter to the United Nations Human Rights Council protesting the authorities' refusal to allow him to visit his wife imprisoned in Tehran's notorious Evin Prison. To the UN Human Rights Council, 
Iranian political prisoner, Hassan Sadeqi
Hassan Sadeqi -  Political Prisoner 
I, Hassan Sadeqi, a political prisoner of Gohardasht (Rajai Shahr) Prison in Karaj, write this letter to talk about my current condition. As i was schedulled to visit my wife imprisoned in Evin Prison, one of the prison guards, named Mohammadreza Shojai, arbitrarily prohibited my visitation with my wife. When I asked about the reason he said that there is a court order prohibiting you from visiting your family. ... I asked him how is it possible that a court order is issued for me while I am not permitted to know about its content. Indeed, the pressures and the violation of rights stem from a corrupt hierarchy, repression and systematic tortures that go on in prison. Torturing and harassing prisoners have become the norm. As a political prisoner whose basic rights have been violated; I want you to tell us what to do in the current situation when no justice exists.

It should be noted, Hassan Sadeqi was arrested In the early hours of Monday, January 28, agents from the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), (son of Gholam-Hossein Sadeqi, a member of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran [PMOI/MEK] and a resident of Camp Liberty, who died in Baghdad  January 2013 ), and his wife, Fatimah Mothana. The MOIS agents also confiscated their personal belongings, including their computers, family photos and books.
Mr. Sadeqi and Mrs. Mothana were both political prisoners during the 1980s.
