'Solitary confinement is used to threaten and intimidate political and civil activists in Iran to halt their activities and to deter the struggle for freedom and democracy.'
Much pain and suffering has been alleviated because of human progress in science. Sadly, science has also been abused to inflict pain and suffering. Undemocratic, illegitimate governments have survived by using science to suppress people.
News and information do not reach you. There are no newspapers, magazines, books, paper or pens. You have nothing in there except three thin, run-down blankets and a shirt and pants. An interrogator can allow you to use a bathroom and toilet or not. Sometimes anxiety and fear, and sometimes sleep disorders, lack of concentration and thinking, and sometimes even illusions dominate the prisoner to a point where they are unable to make decisions or even think straight. This is when interrogators start to feed a prisoner false and toxic news and information.
I met a woman in ward 209 of Evin prison who believed that her interrogator had fallen in love with her, and she was cooperating fully with him. She collaborated with the interrogator against herself. The interrogator took full advantage of this situation, luring her into horrible confessions. The prisoner was eventually executed.
A group of Iranian Kurdish prisoners wrote that after two years in solitary confinement, they were willing to accept any confession, accusation, and charges, but no longer being in those horrific cells. They signed and put their fingerprints on confessions with blindfolds on their eyes. Solitary confinement is used to threaten and intimidate political and civil activists in Iran to halt their activities and to deter the struggle for freedom and democracy.
