“They took me to a villa with 7 male armed guards & forced me to watch their sexual acts in a private pool,” says #NiloufarBayani , an imprisoned environmental activist. She says that she was emotionally tortured to make confessions against herself.

My dear friend #NiloufarBayani has been freed from #Evin prison for one week on medical grounds after contracting Covid. Nilou has spent more than 3 years as an innocent woman behind bars. Welcome back to the real world, my beautiful courageous sister! 🥳🍾

A sad day for the environment!

After 22 months of 'temporary detention', 6 of the #IranianEnvironmentalists received sentences:

#NiloufarBayani 10 years
#MoradTahbaz 10 years
#TaherGhadirian 8 years
#HoumanJowkar 8 years
#AmirHosseinKhaleghi 6 years
#SepidehKashahni 6 years

A new letter from imprisoned environmentalist #NiloufarBayani details severe and shocking torture to which she has been subjected by #IRGC intelligence. She was recently sentenced to 10 yrs prison for the 'crime' of returning to Iran to help conserve its wildlife. (1/9)

Prominent Iranian wildlife conservationist and scholar #NiloufarBayani wrongfully convicted and sentenced by the Islamic Revolutionary court in Iran to 10 years after a torture-tainted confession and sham trial behind closed doors has been released along with three of her

Today #NiloufarBayani is spending her third birthday in prison. She and her colleagues have been unjustly imprisoned since Jan 2018. Iranian authorities should release her and her colleagues since they have failed to provide evidence of their bogus charges.hrw.org/news/2020/02/1…

Extrait de la lettre des 7 prisonnières d’Evin : «  #NiloufarBayani et #SepidehKashani militantes écologistes étaient en cellule d’isolement et sous la torture psychologique et physique par l’IRGC pendant 2 ans pour avouer ce qu’elles n’ont pas fait et être exécutées 1/2

Elles ont subi les pires tortures, ont été menacées de viol et d’exécution par les gardiens de la révolution. Leur seul crime ? Lutter pour la préservation de l'environnement. #SepidehKashani et #NiloufarBayani vont enfin être libérées après 6 longues années de détention.

“If you were being threatened with a needle of hallucinogenic drugs above your arm, you would also confess to whatever they wanted you to,” said #NiloufarBayani , one the 8 environmentalists who are on trial after a year of detention. #anyhopefornature hrw.org/news/2019/02/0…
