Rozita Vasseghi

Wednesday 30 Tir 1389 at 16:40

Hrana News – The physical well being of Rozita Vasseghi, an imprisoned Baha’i in Mashad’s Vakil Abad prison has been reported as very serious during the last family visit.

According to Hrana reporters she has been in solitary confinement for more than 125 days and has weakened and thinned out significantly, resulting in low blood pressure and severe pain in her palms and feet. This pain has caused the movement of hands and feet to be very difficult and with severe pain.

This condition exists while those responsible at the Mashad Information Office, in responding to the family about her unfavourable condition, have merely stated that Rozita Vasseghi is not cooperating and her condition will not change until she does cooperate with them.

Rozita Vasseghi went into quarantine of Vakil Abad prison for 12 days, on 24th of Farvardin
1389 ( a month after her arrest) and subsequently was again transferred to the solitary confinement of Mashad Information Office without any judicial order. This action was apparently taken so that pending the announcement of her transfer to the Vakil Abad prison they could keep her in the arresting facility of the Information Office without any judicial order.

Another interesting aspect is that on 6th of Tir ‘89 a security bond of 50 million tumans was obtained from Vasseghi family in order to release her but so far not only no action has been taken in this regard, but no clear and satisfactory answer has been given by those responsible.
