News Center- The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence has dispatched a special interrogation team consisting of three persons to Lakan Prison in Rasht to obtain a forced confession from labor activist Sharifeh Mohammadi due to international outrage against the death sentence.
Activists all around the world have expressed their support to the “Campaign to Defend Sharifeh Mohammadi”, demanding the death sentence against Sharifeh Mohammadi be reversed and her unconditional release.
In recent days, three investigators and special observers from the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence have been dispatched from Tehran to Lakan Prison in Rasht to fabricate a case against Sharifeh Mohammadi, based on obtaining a forced confession, the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights reported on Sunday.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran tries to show all international organizations and unions, which support Sharifa Mohamedi, that the death sentence given to this labor activist is fair by obtaining a forced confession,” the Campaign to Defend Sharifeh Mohammadi said in a statement.
“The authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran try to justify the death sentence with baseless and threadbare accusations. Sharifeh Mohammadi has been tortured to obtain a forced confession by a special interrogation team. Despite the torture and inhuman conditions, she keeps resisting. During the interrogation, Sharifeh Mohammadi denied being a member of any political, armed or unarmed groups. Her lawyer has already appealed to the Supreme Court of Iran to overturn the decision. However, the latest developments show that the Islamic Republic of Iran insists on the execution of this political prisoner.”
