Zeynab Jalalian: Iran’s Longest-Serving Female Political Prisoner Denied Medical Care
Zeynab Jalalian, the only female political prisoner in Iran sentenced to life imprisonment, has entered her 20th year of incarceration. Despite severe health conditions٫ including uterine fibroids, chronic abdominal pain, and acute anemia٫ prison authorities are denying her access to essential medical treatment, citing "wartime conditions" as a pretext. Arrested in 2007, Jalalian has endured years of torture and remains deprived of basic human rights. Her case represents a broader pattern of systematic medical neglect and state-sanctioned cruelty against female political detainees, as she remains trapped in the prison system without the specialized care she desperately needs.

Poet and Political Prisoner Peyman Farahavar at Grave Risk of Execution
The Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic has rejected the third appeal for retrial filed by Peyman Farahavar, a poet from Gilan, effectively upholding his two death sentences. Farahavar, who is currently detained in Lakan Prison, was convicted of "Baghi" (armed rebellion) and "Moharebeh" (enmity against God) by the Rasht Revolutionary Court. These charges are reportedly based on his protest poetry and civic activism regarding social justice. Arrested in September 2024, the father of an 11-year-old child now faces an imminent threat of execution following the latest judicial rejection of his legal defense.
