The Human Rights Organization in Iran stated that Qarchak Prison in Iran has become a center of torture, deprivation, and humanitarian crises for female political detainees. The organization asserted that this prison has acquired a notorious reputation due to systematic violence against women, becoming a symbol of silent torture.

In a report on the conditions of female prisoners, the organization noted that prolonged power outages, high temperatures, a lack of medical services, and a lack of adequate water have put the lives of dozens of female political detainees in danger. It explained that a number of detainees suffer from chronic diseases and have been denied necessary medical treatment.

It is noteworthy that human rights activists, independent lawyers, and international organizations defending the rights of women and prisoners have repeatedly warned about the conditions in Qarchak Prison, but reports indicate that the violations have not stopped, but are rather worsening.
