The 47 -year -old mother revealed that she had read for the first time IPP jail conditions Before being arrested. However, the injustice of his status performed “separate hit” in the years of being accused of spying in Iran’s infamous Evin Jail.
He said, “I felt what is happening through the prisoners, and the pain of feeling like your imprisonment is never ending.”
“It is fundamentally wrong to keep people in jail beyond any crime. The punishment should fit into the crime, not to operate independently.
“I was really surprised that the imprisonment for open -ended imprisonment in the UK is present. You like Iran somewhere expecting that officials play only with sentences and people’s lives.

He said: “I think there is a need to stop the government from looking at another way. It is not understood that the punishment was declared illegal years ago, and still people are still being organized on it.
“It was a labor government that introduced this injustice, and this labor government needs to solve it.”
