Read moreMaryam Akbari Monfared, a resilient political prisoner in exile, is serving her 13th year of imprisonment without a single day of leave in the Prison of Semnan.
Maryam Akbari Monfared has three daughters. She was arrested on December 29, 2009, after the tremendous uprising on December 27 that year which shook the pillars of the regime. In June 2010, the Revolutionary Court of Tehran handed down a 15-year prison sentence for Moharebeh on the alleged charge of “membership in the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran,” a charge which Mrs. Akbari has never accepted. She has been in prison without a single day of leave since the day she was detained. She suffers from Thyroid malfunction and joint rheumatism.
Maryam Akbari’s sister and brother were executed during the massacre of political prisoners in the summer of 1988. Another two of her brothers were executed during the mass executions in the early 1980s.

The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women.
