News Center- Sakineh Parvaneh, a Kurdish political prisoner imprisoned in Evin prison, has been denied the right to make phone calls with her family since September 2024 despite repeated efforts by her and her relatives.

The political prisoner hasn’t been allowed to make phone calls with her parents, who cannot travel from the city of Quchan to Tehran to visit her due to their advanced ages.

In 2019, Sakineh Parvaneh was arrested by the agents of the IRGC's intelligence for having visited her relatives in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. After ten days in the detention centers of Marivan and Sanandaj, she was transferred to the Evin Prison in Tehran.

On May 25, 2020, her lawyer, Payam Derafshan, said that Sakineh Parvaneh had been sentenced to five years in prison on charges of “membership of groups opposed to the state with the aim of disrupting national security”.

In April 2020, Parvaneh was transferred to Qarchak Prison in Varamin for writing slogans on the walls and chanting slogans in Evin Prison. On  July 4, 2020, she was transferred to Evin Prison again. In August 2020, she received an additional two years in prison on charges of “rioting in prison.”

On February 15, 2023, she was released from prison under amnesty.

On April 4, 2023, she was rearrested by the agents of the IRGC's intelligence at the Mashhad bus terminal in Razavi Khorasan Province. On April 14, she was transferred to the Mashhad Central Prison.

In October 2023, she was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison on the charges of “propaganda against the state”, “assembly and collusion to commit a crime against the security of the country”, and “insulting the leader”.

On April 3, 2024, she was transferred from Mashhad Prison to Evin Prison in Tehran.
