The mistreatment of prisoners being held in corrections facilities all over the world is a problem that should not be over looked. In recent post we have seen how poorly the prisoners are treated in Iranian prisons; some situations become so bad it ultimately leads to death or sever illness. Iran's Evin prison is not notorious when it comes to mistreatment of prisoners, cover stories, and a lengthy wait for trial. In years past, there have been a number of Evin prisoners who have fallen victim to abuse and lack of medical treatment within the prison. For instance, in 2003 Iranian-Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi was arrested for taking photographs in front of the prison; while incarcerated Zahra Kazemi died, the government claimed she died from a stroke, when in truth she was raped and murdered.
Roxana Saberi who has been locked up in the Evin prison for some time now has still not been charged and although she isn't showing signs of abuse (reports her father) many are worried for her well being.
