Varisha Moradi, a Kurdish women’s rights activist and a member of the East Kurdistan Free Women Society (KJAR), is in dire physical condition after 70 days of detention and interrogation under torture.
She was viciously tortured in the detention center of the Department of Intelligence of Sanandaj. During the past 70 days, she has not had access to her medications despite suffering from Migraine headaches.
She was tortured to make confessions against herself. An informed source reported that in one instance, she vomited blood and went completely unconscious under torture.
Varisha Moradi was recently transferred to one of the intelligence services’ safe houses in Tehran.
She has not had any contact with her family since August 1, 2023, when she was kidnapped by agents of the Intelligence Ministry on the road from Marivan to Sanandaj. She was violently beaten and taken to jail without receiving any medical care.
