HRA News Agency - It has been over 100 days since the arrest of Badrolsadat Mofidi, detained secretary of the Iranian Journalists Association. After a brief meeting with Badrolsadat on April 16, 2010, her family reported that she is [currently] suffering from a heart disease and a nervous breakdown due to the severe pressures [she endured] during interrogation.

According to the Kaleme website, Mofidi’s husband Masoud Aghaie reported that his wife has been under intense interrogations since March 6, 2010. The results of these inhuman acts are “heart disease,” “serious neurological disorder,” and uncontrollable shaking of her hands and head.” Mofidi’s husband and children were finally able to meet with her on Thursday.

As result, prison doctors are insisting on the presence of a psychiatrist or psychologist to help with her critical condition.

In response to the offer to receive the services of Evin prison’s security ward doctors, national-religious activist stated that she prefers to be treated by outside doctors due to her distrust the prison doctors. Aghaie also reported that his wife has been transferred to a closed cell, along with two other prisoners from solitary confinement. Mofidi’s husband complained about the uncertainty in her case and a set of new interrogations. He hoped for “Badrolsadat’s release and her return home.”
