Branch 1 of the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Orumiyeh has sentenced Kurdish woman political prisoner Sinur Tamara, a citizen of Turkey, to 10 years and one day in prison on charges of “membership in the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)”.
Reportedly, the court carried out the hearing through video-conferencing on 23 June without the presence of a lawyer.
The court has officially notified Tamara on 3 July about her sentence. She is currently imprisoned in the women’s ward of Orumiyeh Central Prison.
Forces of the Intelligence Organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) arrested Tamara in the fall of 2020.
After several months of interrogation in the detention centre of the Intelligence Organisation of the IRGC in Al-Mahdi base in Orumiyeh, she was transferred to Orumiyeh Central Prison in mid-March 2021.
On 24 March, she was transferred to the detention centre of the Ministry of Intelligence, and after a few weeks, she was returned to the women’s ward of Orumiyeh Central Prison.
Since her arrest, the political prisoner has been denied the right to a lawyer, visits by, and contact with her family.
