		For the next 8 years, she would be transferred, from Evin to Ghessel Hessar prison, back and forth, from one unit to another, spending time in between in solitary.

		The Iranian journalist Akbar Ganji was arrested in Tehran in April 2000 and, after a series of trials, was sentenced to six years in prison for his political writings, for allegedly spreading propaganda against the Islamic Republic, and for collecting confidential information harmful to national security.
		By now he has been in prison for nearly five years, part of the time in solitary confinement; the judicial authorities have suggested that more charges against Ganji for his various writings are pending.
		While on a hunger strike in prison, Ganji issued a number of statements, including two letters "to the Free People of the World." In these, he criticized the violations of individual rights in the Islamic Republic and laid out an argument for civil disobedience aimed at challenging the legitimacy of the regime.

	globeandmail.com: Few know who is held behind the tiled walls of Tehran's Evin prison
		Her death made many Iranians aware of the prison's brutal and shadowy nature, and has recently provoked a surprising movement to have Section 209 shut down, even as it seems to have reached its highest population levels since the 1980s.
		To anyone but the Iranian government, they would be known as political prisoners, though a great number of them have not been charged with any crime, even though some have been held for months.
		But as the prison becomes more heavily used by the government, its use of torture and the number of people imprisoned without charge or trial have become sources of embarrassment to others in the government, which is attempting to demonstrate to other Middle Eastern countries that its Islamic revolutionary regime is a model worth emulating.

	Free Haleh!
		“We are deeply disturbed by these new reports from Iran, and by the fact that Haleh remains in Evin prison despite not one shred of truth to any of the charges brought against her,” said Lee H. Hamilton, president and director of the Wilson Center.
		“It is obvious that the Ministry of Intelligence, lacking any real cause or evidence to keep my wife, Haleh, incarcerated in solitary confinement at Evin, is trying to drag things out by claiming continuing ‘investigations,’ ” said George Mason University professor Shaul Bakhash.
		The aim of the security authorities is clearly to coerce a false confession; or, out of sheer meanness, they intend to keep Haleh in Evin Prison as long as they can.
