Maryam Akbari Monfared Denied In-Person Visits with Her Family 
Reports indicate that political prisoner Maryam Akbari Monfared has been denied in-person visits with her family and children since her transfer to Qarchak Prison and continues to be held in solitary confinement.
Officials at Qarchak Prison in Varaminrefuse to grant Akbari Monfared permission for in-person meetings with her family, despite repeated requests.
Hossein Taj, the lawyer representing Maryam Akbari Monfared, stated, “My client, after completing her 15-year prison sentence without a single day of furlough, was transferred from exile in the Prison of Semnan to Qarchak Prison to serve an additional two-year sentence. Since her transfer, her family has not been allowed any in-person visitation.”
He added, “Although her husband obtained a court order from the prosecutor’s office permitting visitation, prison officials claim that an inquiry to the Civil Registry failed to verify their marital status. As a result, they denied the request for an in-person meeting. However, her two daughters have been granted booth visits.”
