 Report from Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz; Severe Overcrowding, Lack of Water, and Outbreak of Disease Among Detainees

 


Reports from Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz indicate a critical situation; severe overcrowding, holding hundreds of prisoners in confined spaces, and widespread uncertainty. Water shortages, limited sanitation, and unsanitary conditions, along with the spread of disease and bedbug infestation, severely threaten the lives of prisoners. While many are still being held without warrants or trials, concerns about their health and rights have grown seriously.
📌 Committee for the Release of Political Prisoners in Iran
Under international humanitarian law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, the lives and rights of prisoners must be protected under all circumstances. Any unlawful transfer, torture, starvation, or exposure of prisoners to the risk of war constitutes a serious violation of international law.
