Last year, an Iranian woman called Farah Vazehan went on some of the demonstrations that took place against the regime, in summer 2009. After one of the demonstrations, her house was raided and she was arrested and sent to prison. On August 5th 2010, a revolutionary court heard her case and someone called Judge Salavati sentenced her to 15 years in Evin Prison (which is notorious for torturing its inmates)for: (i) attending a public demonstration and (ii) carrying out crimes against God. Farah has a 19 year old daughter who has cancer and is receiving chemotherapy at the moment.
