Mrs.Maryam Shirini, Amir Eslami’s wife, who used to come from Khorram Abad to Tehran to visit her husband every week, for just over twenty minutes behind the glass, many times has asked the authorities to take time off and in-person meeting with him, but with the lack of judicial attention to her request, it has been so far inconclusive !

After 9 months of detention and arrest of her husband, she said to Majzooban reporter :

“Unfortunately, no one is accountable…

The law is not written for just the watch…

When they illegally arrested and illegally kept…

Legal right to visit the family of prisoners will be denied illegally too…

And in these days, it’s not uncommon…

*Assembly and collusion against national security

*Spread false and lies

*Deviant group membership”

Mrs.Eslami with sorrow and sadness said to our correspondent :”The first day of new year ‘ Nourooz” I was just hoping and waiting to allow Amir to have one phone call, but unfortunately they did not and it was really hard for me…But despite all these problems, Amir is in good spirits and is standing firm and strong and he does not express his sadness because he wont us more nostalgic and sad.

We have no choice but patiently !

It is noteable that the facilities and basic amenities such as the pitcher and glasses, spoon and cutlery, refrigerator, oven and etc are provided by prisoners and it is against the law.

Except the lentils which will be offered to prisoners twice a week as dinner, the only useful food which is taken by prisoners is breakfast but its quantity is too low and no-fruits were made ​​prisoners to produce fruits with personal funds and because of this, monthly average of 600 thousand rials will impose additional costs to the prisoners and their families .
