[The following is a translation of a status on the Facebook page of Narges Mousavi. She has requested that we share the account of what happened to them when they were granted visitation with their parents yesterday on the occasion of Eyde Ghadir. Please share widely.]

Greetings,

What you are about to read is an account of the events that occurred during our visit with our detained parents yesterday on the occasion of Eyde Ghadir:

On Wednesday October 24th, 2013 we were contacted by security agents who informed us that an exception would be made so we could have lunch with our parents. Of course this luncheon was in lieu of releasing them on the occasion of Eyde Ghadir, particularly given that we are now approaching the 1000 day mark of their house arrest.

We were told that we would be allowed to spend a total of 2/12 hours with our parents from 11:30am to 2:00pm. Two female security officers were present during our visit. Their pseudo names are Maryam and Sarah (the legal name of one is Mojgan Nazemi, born in 1983). One of these two women had shamelessly accosted and affronted father during the time he had been hospitalized, despite the fact that our mother has always treated them with a motherly respect, even going as far as gifting them the customary Eydi gift while under house arrest.

When our visitation hours came to an end this particular female security officer requested that we accompany her to a secure building belonging to the Ministry of Intelligence next to our parents’ house on Akhtar street. She wanted to conduct a bodily search ensuring that we had not illegally removed any items from our parents’ home while visiting. Though it was hard to believe at first, the demands of the security officer in question were not only unconventional but also disgusting to say the least. To our utter shock and dismay she even repeatedly insisted that we remove our under garments. Her behavior and the manner in which she treated us was anything but what is customary in Islamic tradition.

After refusing to remove our clothes, she attacked us, slapping both myself and my sister Zahra across the face. When I tried to stop her from hitting us she became even more violent, brutally biting my wrists. She repeatedly attacked us and when we finally called out for the head of the prison guards Mr. Foroughi, he of course apologized, but neither felt the need to explain the reason behind such a brutal and inhumane behavior.

During the entire time we were being attacked, my father was standing behind the iron bars of their kitchen that is to the East of the building belonging to the Ministry of Intelligence and he could hear the loud voices and noise arising from the brutal behavior of the security officers. Unfortunately my mother also witnessed their violent behavior.

I have a number of pictures that tell the story of this unfortunate and inhumane incident, including pictures of the head of the prison guards which will be made public if necessary.

I ask that you please share this account with everyone.
