In the years following the Islamic Revolution in Iran the country went through such tumult that human rights violations gradually became the foremost concern for international organizations. The tortures and executions that took place in the eighties were only the beginning of such violations. These violations were exacerbated during the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and reached a climax in the aftermath of public protests to the tenth presidential election. During this suppressive period, hundreds of students, women’s right activists, workers, human rights activists, and politicians were arrested and imprisoned. All of these groups were condemned to heavy sentences and many people had to go through long prison terms and flee the country.

When we speak of prisoner’s rights, it means that we have left behind the age of dungeons and branding bodies and have caught up with civilization and the culture of human rights.

Even if we regard this document as distinct from the international criteria of human rights, it appears as a symbol and expression of citizenship rights which the Iranian government has endorsed.
