Description

Gholamreza Roshan (Roshan) has acted as the Director-General of Khuzestan Province Prisons since July 2022. In prisons under Roshan’s oversight, including Shiban Prison in Ahvaz, political prisoners have been subjected to torture and other ill-treatment and denied necessary medical treatment. Prisons officials in Shiban Prison have profited from the sale of addictive drugs to inmates, particularly those convicted under political offenses.
