Kurdish civilian Golaleh Moradi, who had gone on a hunger strike in the prison of Orumiyeh in Iran’s northwestern province of West Azerbaijan to protest against the uncertainty in her case, ended her strike on 16 February.
Moradi, who has been in pre-trial detention for the past ten months, went on a hunger strike on 14 February.
She ended her hunger strike on the third day after prison officials promised to follow up on her demands.
At the same time as the civilian ended her strike, the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Mahabad, West Azerbaijan province, extended her detention for another month.
The Intelligence Organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) arrested Moradi and two of her sons, Taher Bazazi and Matin Bazazi, in Piranshahr, West Azerbaijan province, on 17 April.
The security forces then took the civilians to the intelligence institution’s detention facility in Orumiyeh.
Taher Bazazi was released after ten days and Matin Bazazi after a month of detention in this security detention centre.
Moradi, however, was interrogated for 45 days on the accusation of collaboration with a Kurdish opposition party and the murder of a member of the IRGC named Osman Haji Hosseini.
Security interrogators forced her to make confessions by threatening to torture her children.
After being transferred to Orumiyeh Central Prison, Moradi wrote a letter to the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Piranshahr, West Azerbaijan province, stating that she had been tortured and pressured into confessing.
She had denied all allegations made by the Intelligence Organisation of the IRGC.
