Descriptions

Head of Ward 5 and in charge of solitary confinement in EU-listed Rajaee Shahr Prison since 2015; formerly Keeper of Ward 1 of Rajaee Shahr Prison, Karadj until Jul 2010. Several former detainees have denounced his use of torture, as well as orders he gave to prevent inmates receiving medical assistance. According to a transcript of one reported detainee in the Rajaee Shahr Prison, wardens all beat him severely, with Akharian's full knowledge. There is also at least one reported case of ill treatment and the death of a detainee, Mohsen Beikvand, under Akharian's wardenship. Beikvand died in Sep 2010. Other prisoners claim credibly that he was killed by the instructions of Hassan Akharian.

Chef de la section 5 de la prison de Rajaee Shahr (inscrite sur la liste établie par l’Union européenne) et responsable des placements à l’isolement dans cette prison, depuis 2015; ancien responsable de la section 1 de la prison de Rajaee Shahr (Karaj), jusqu’en juillet 2010. Plusieurs anciens détenus ont dénoncé l’usage qu’il fait de la torture, et les ordres qu’il a donnés pour empêcher que des prisonniers bénéficient d’une assistance médicale. Selon le témoignage d’un détenu de la prison de Rajaee Shahr, tous les gardiens le frappaient violemment, ce dont M. Akharian était pleinement informé. Le décès d’au moins un détenu, Mohsen Beikvand, ayant également subi des mauvais traitements, sous la surveillance de M. Akharian, a été signalé. M. Beikvand est décédé en septembre 2010. Selon d’autres prisonniers, jugés crédibles, M. Beikvand a été tué sur ordre de Hassan Akharian.
