Iranian Teacher Masoud Farhikhteh Held 70 Days in Solitary Confinement

Iranian teacher Masoud Farhikhteh, imprisoned for over 70 days in solitary confinement, made a brief phone call to his family, decrying his treatment as worse than that of prisoners of war. The claim of prolonged isolation is based on his account and family statements, with limited independent corroboration. This highlights Iran's treatment of political prisoners and potential human rights concerns.
