Three political prisoners in Qarchak Prison were interrogated again regarding their statement against the regime’s sham election, fresh reports from this prison say. The three political prisoners are affiliated with the Iranian opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). Forough Taghipour, Parastoo Mo’ini, and Marzieh Farsi were summoned to the 7th Branch of the Prosecutor’s Office of Shahr-e Rey on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. The branch’s interrogator, Majid Salehi, questioned them over the statement in June. They had called for the boycott of the regime’s sham presidential election in the statement. Another interrogator in the office questioned Marzieh Farsi separately. Their interrogations lasted several hours. The interrogators had questioned these prisoners another time regarding the same issue on July 26, 2021. Parastoo Mo’ini, 20, was threatened by her interrogator: “The situation might end up like 1988 again!” 1988 is a reference to the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in the summer of 1988. “If we do not execute you, we will make you wish to be executed,” he warned.
