HRANA News Agency – Fatemeh Musana, a former political prisoner in the 1980s, was arrested in 2011 again and along with her husband was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. His three brothers were executed in the 1980s and while she was only 13 years old, she was in prison for 2 years along with her mother in the first decade of the Islamic Republic.
According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency in Iran (HRANA), Fatemeh Musana, born on June 5, 1968, lost her father while she was 3 years old, she had one sister and four brothers (named Morteza, Ali, Asadollah and Mustafa).
Her brothers Morteza and Ali have a history of arrest and imprisonment due to their political activities in the years before the revolution. They also were secretaries at Alavi School and the bodyguards of Mr. Khomeini, but the Committee Forces raided their home in “Ramadan” month of 1980 and Ali Musana was arrested.
In the same month, Fatemeh Musana and her mother Ferdos Mahboubi were also arrested and transferred to Evin Prison. She was just 13 years old and her mother was 50 years old. She was separated from her mother and transferred to cell 316 which was places at the top of the bakery that had caused extreme heat.
She was unaware of her mother and brothers. More than two months of interrogation, only three times a day to use the bathroom and the “sounds and the cries of the whippings and kicks to the bodies” by the presence of Lajevardi continued.
At the same time Fatemeh Musana and her family were tried by Judge Gilani. She was accused of “armed struggle” while she was a teenager. She was in solitary confinement at night with the sound of a hail of mass executions and counting bullets. The prisoners first thought that “was the voice of emptying the beams for construction.”
Repeatedly she pounded the door of the solitary confinement and begged to go to the bathroom but the answer was being cursed and whipped. Bath time was only 10 minutes per week. Shortly after, she and some other prisoners were transferred to “Single 8” ward of Ghezelhesar prison.
After execution of Fatemeh Musana’s brothers, their mother was sent to the same ward of Ghezelhesar prison and they “embraced each other and wept.”
The health situation of the ward was very inappropriate and full of vermin such as mice. Every night a group of guards on the orders of “Davood Rahmani,” the former head of Ghezelhesar prison, beat the prisoners by raiding the ward and persecuted and tortured by whipping and with making them to sit down and stand up continuously in the long hall of Ghezelhesar prison until the morning.
Fatemeh Musana as a 13-year-old teenager only chest her knees and cried. She says: “One day Davood Rahmani came to the ward and whipped a person who was a communist 15 times to make her a Muslim.”
One day the warden called Fatemeh and told her about the execution of her three brothers (Moreza, Ali and Mustafa) but he said nothing to her mother. She cried alone so that her mother would not be aware.
After a while Mrs. Musana was separated from her mother and transferred to “ward 4” and ultimately revolutionary guards told her mother about the execution of her children.
Despite the ordeal Mrs. Musana’s mother, always helped pregnant women whose husbands were executed.
One of the brides of the family was killed while being under detention and another bride (Ali’s wife) with two children, 2 and 4 years old, was kept along with Fatemeh Musana.
By all these problems and difficulties her mother got physically very weak and was hospitalized at prison’s clinic for a long time and Fatemeh has to witness her mother’s pains.
Fatemeh Musana and her mother were released from the prison after two and four years of imprisonment and were forced to re-build their lives due to confiscation of their properties and houses. Fatemeh Musana started sewing to earn money also for her mother.
The mother of the family was in the treatment of diseases caused by physical and mental sufferings in prison for at least 5 years in various hospitals.
Ms. Musana married with Hassan Sadeghi, who is also a political prisoner of 1980s and had a history of 6 years in prison. Her husband was arrested at age of 15 like herself. They have two children named Maryam and Iman.
In 2013, Fatemeh Musana along with her husband and their two teenage children aged 16 and 11 were arrested due to holding a funeral for her husband’s father who was killed at “Camp Liberty” and their door was plumbed.
The family then was transferred to solitary confinement in ward 209 of Evin prison and interrogated and tortured with irreverence. Mrs. Musana’s children were released after 50 days and the parents were transferred to the general ward. After a year they were released on the bail.
In the court Mrs. Musana and her husband were each sentenced to 15 years in prison. On October 3, 2015 Fatemeh Musana was arrested and transferred to Evin prison to serve her sentence.
Now, Fatemeh Musana is kept in the women’s ward of Evin prison and her husband in Rajai Shahr prison. Despite all the calamities, her 84-year-old mother lives with her grandchildren in the absence of her daughter and son in law. Iman is now 20 years old, and in addition to being the main financial resource of the family, studies in the university. And Maryam is now 13 years old.
Fatemeh Musana asked the interrogator in her recent arrest interrogation: “How many generations of our children are going to be oppressed?”
