Press TV conducted an exclusive interview with this Iranian imprisoned in America, which is given below:
Tell us about your conditions in prison?
The situation is terrible. horrible. I really want the whole world to see with their own eyes what the conditions are like in the American federal prison. America’s state prisons, like everything else in this country, look good on the surface, but when you look at it from the inside, it is nothing more than a garbage dump..
The state prisons of America and Iran can be compared from two dimensions. Today, in the 21st century, the newly established country of America considers Iran as a third world country. With this view, no one expects the conditions and facilities of Iran’s prisons to be good. The Iranian government has not yet said that the conditions of our prisons are the best in the world in terms of human rights.
How long have you been in prison and in which prison?
They even used an underground corridor to transport me and my fellow prisoners so that we could not see the sun. After that, during the trial, I was transferred to the regional prison. As for the federal prison, I dare say it’s like a trash can. I was transferred to the state prison during the trial. This prison is pure dirt. During that time, the prison officials mistreated me terribly. Especially high-ranking people, with the rank of captain, lieutenant, as well as guards, were my biggest enemies. Then a few months after my conviction, I was transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury. The conditions here are a little better compared to the prison in Miami, but at the end of each day, I return to my cell, which is the same garbage..
A number of American citizens are imprisoned in Iran. Sara Shurd has recently been released by the Iranian authorities. We have heard that your condition has worsened after Shurd’s release. How are you now?
Now, after the release of Sarah Shurd and the letters I wrote to the president of Iran, they have realized that I will not remain silent and my family in Iran will act to support me..
In the last three or four months, I have written many letters to President Ahmadinejad and while informing him about my situation, I asked him to take action for my rights and support. I have asked them to file a complaint in international courts because there is no justice in America.
After Sarah Shored’s release, American and world media want to tell the truth, but the government of this country does not allow it. Censorship of the American government has spread everywhere and they misuse the phrase of maintaining national security for this purpose.
After Sarah’s return to America, they demanded access to all my legal documents and documents and started investigating my case.
My children met Sarah in Iran. When he came to America, he brought a letter from my children with him, but nothing was reflected anywhere. I don’t know anything about its content and I don’t know if he talked about me with President Obama or not?
They got hold of all my letters to Mr. Ahmadinejad. When I was sent back six days later, I found out that I had been right on this one. By referring to the prison officer, I got my papers and documents back from him. Taking my documents and legal documents is against the laws of this country. I am sure that after copying these papers, they looked for a way to destroy the documents.
I am a living witness that I speak about these facts to the public and they want to prevent my voice from being heard in the outside world by cutting off my connection with the outside world. They don’t like this and they have to destroy me. They should cut off the connection between me and the world so that no one can hear my voice. They continue their evil deeds to remain a superpower.
After Sarah Shored returned to America, all the media of that country interviewed her and asked about the treatment she received in Iran.…
Did you see how Sara talked about her time in prison in Iran with such fear on TV shows?
I live in a situation where the person next to me has AIDS. I have to eat with these people. I live in a situation where every disease you can imagine exists. I’m sure Sarah Shored’s situation was better than mine.
First, Sara had broken the law of Iran. But I have not done anything wrong. They had crossed the border of Iran, but I came to this country to work at the invitation of the American government. They sent me a ticket. They brought me from the airport to the hellish soil of America. They handcuffed me, took me to prison and tortured me in every possible way, especially psychologically. They tortured me so much that I agreed to play the role of a spy for them and hand over my ex-wife to them.
My message to America is this. Excuse me, you are the superpower of the world. You have spies all over the world and you think you rule the world. Now you want my ex-wife…well go get her. How poor you are that you captured a 29-year-old mother without a guardian to grab an Iranian man. shame on you.
But let me tell you about Sarah. They had gone for fun and sightseeing. I have a question for the US government. What action would you take against me if I were to travel in Canada and enter the United States by mistake? What are you accusing me of? The first thing you said was that I am connected with a terrorist group. Then you would say that I am an Iranian spy and then you would make up the rest of the story.
Aren’t you worried about the consequences of interviewing us and having your opinions spread?
Of course. But I just want the whole world to hear and know the truth regardless of what the US government says. I am here in prison. I want the world to know the truth about America with my own will and full knowledge. I don’t care what they want to do to me anymore. Because if the waters of the world’s oceans were mixed, it would not be enough to write what they have done to me here. I want the truth to come out. I want Press TV to keep calling me to tell you everything and let all the politicians follow me.
I have a message for Sarah Shored. I want to say that madam… know that your situation in Iran was much better than mine. I was imprisoned in a cell the size of a grave where I had to witness the dirty relations of homosexual prisoners. Last Saturday, they suddenly came to my cell and after handcuffing me, they took me to a special accommodation unit (HSU) They conveyed that the place where the prisoners are kept is very dangerous.
This program has been like this since the beginning. The evil American regime wanted to arrest my ex-husband, that’s why they decided to invite me to this country, put me in prison, and after me make a spy who will hand over her husband to America against the interests of Iran. But they came to the conclusion that they cannot do anything.
On December 19, 2007, I was arrested at the Miami airport and taken to the Miami Federal Prison Camp, which is a horrible place full of evil people. I spent three years in this prison. The whole case of the US government against me is fake. We are basically their hostages. I was in this place and in a building where I never saw the color of the sun for 18 months until my trial. When the Americans took the prisoners to the court, they chained them like slaves .
