According to reliable sources, political prisoners in Qarchak are experiencing tremendous difficulty to a lack of hot water in the bone-chilling winter cold. In addition, the water pressure is very low. Qarchak Prison authorities shut off the rest of the wards for only half an hour every few days to supply some lukewarm water to the political prisoners in Qarchak. The lack of hot water in the cold winter weather has caused various diseases among women prisoners. The health condition in this prison is reported to be very poor. Marzieh Farsi, a political prisoner in Qarchak, has suffered from rheumatism due to poor prison conditions and the cold and has been denied medical care. Ms. Farsi has cancer and is in prison under these circumstances.
