News Center- Kurdish politician prisoner Zeynab Jalalian was sentenced to death by an Iranian court in 2008 but the Supreme Court of Iran reduced her sentence to life imprisonment in 2010 due to the pressure of the world's public opinion. She was transferred to the prison in Yazd, Kermanshah prison, Urmia prison, and finally to the prison in Yazd. Since her exile to the prison in Yazd, no information has been received from her. Her mother Gozel Jalalian spoke for the first time about the condition of her jailed daughter.

“I want to see my daughter”

Stating that she hasn’t seen her daughter for 15 years, Gozel Jalalian called on lawyers to find a solution for her to see her daughter. “My daughter has been behind bars for 15 years and I haven’t seen her for 15 years. No one is allowed to visit her. I am her mother and I want to see her. I call on the international community to find a solution for us. I don’t know where she has been held.”

“I don’t know if she is alive or dead”

 Gozel Jalalian also called on the state officials. “I don’t know if she is alive or dead. She was tested positive for Covid-19 but we weren’t informed about that. Parliamentarians also want to visit her but they are not allowed. I want to see my daughter,” she said.
