Iranian Resistance call for freedom of Mrs. Zahra Aliqoli a political prisoner in Iran

Friday, 09 February 2007

NCRI - The Iranian Resistance calls on all international women’s human rights organizations to try for freedom of a 62-year-old political prisoner, Mrs. Zahra Aliqoli who has been imprisoned in the mullahs’ regime’s dungeons since summer of 2006.

In previous years, she had been imprisoned and tortured by the regime twice. Mrs. Aliqoli’s poor health is of great concern in prison.

She has been tried by the mullahs’ judiciary on the charges of visiting her children in Ashraf City, home to the members of People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) in Iraq.

Mrs. Aliqoli’s daughter, Shahnaz Aliqoli was imprisoned by the regime for five years and later executed in 1988.

In 1981, she was arrested and imprisoned for the first time with her husband. In 1986, for second time, she was imprisoned and tortured severely by the regime’s henchmen.

The Iranian Resistance calls on all international human rights as well as women’s rights organizations to condemn the regime’s crimes and take urgent measures to save the life of Mrs. Aliqoli and other political prisoners in Iran.
