Mrs. Darabi:  When Delara was at home, she was a bit sensitive.  Because she was physically weak, she was bothered by the heat.  And now that she is in prison, well, you are aware of the harsh conditions of prison.  So, it is very difficult.   Because the weather here it hot and humid here, she suffers from heat strokes.  Every other day, she needs to be hooked up to an Ivey.   She is very weak.  And you know the conditions of prison.   

Although a while ago, I spoke with the prison warden and told him how she is feeling so what are you doing about it, he said that they have built some new buildings, we have prepared them but it will be approximately 20 days before they are finished.   I hope that your daughter will be released by then.  The warden is a great person.  Because he believes that Delara is innocent, he says "I like her like my own daughter.   I see here that she is not into anything [violent or illegal].  She is only into her paintings and her books and she greatly assists other prisoners."  

However, because they do not have air-conditioning and the number of prisoners is large, …

MH:  How many of them are there, Mrs. Darabi?  How many of them are in one room?  

Mrs. Darabi:  I think there are 12-13 people in one room. 

MH;  Where is their bathroom?  Is it a shared bathroom?   How many people have to share the same shower facilities?

Mrs. Darabi:  Well, there are 2-3 bathrooms, and the same number of shower facilities for I think 200 people.   I don't really know.  They all use the same bathroom facilities until in a while they want to take them to a new building.   I don't really know anything more than that. 

When I went to see her, Delara said "mom, I don't like to go to the new building.  I want to come home. But they are building a new building and have spent a lot of money.   The warden has been very kind.  But I don't like to go.  At the very least, they should transfer me because I hate it here.   I have suffered greatly here and have been abused.  I can not longer tolerate the conditions of this place."

So now, with faith in God and your work, I hope that Delara will be released by then. 

She had called yesterday and said "mom, I get sick to my stomach 3 times a day due to heat strokes, and I change my clothes countless times each day and wash them."   This is a problem for her because she is weak.

MH: I hope that she will be released soon.  We know that Delara is innocent.   Everyone knows that.  Her lawyer has proven this.  Rest assured that Delara will be freed.  We are all behind her.   The world is behind her.  Please give our best to her, kiss her, and tell her that, soon, the world will be a witness to smiles on the faces of her family members as she returns to her family.  

Mrs. Darabi:  Thanks you so much for all of your work.

MH:  You're welcome.  This is our duty as lovers of human-kind.   And until there these types of injustice exist, rest assured that we will be here to make sure that we do not allow our innocent dear ones, especially our youth, especially our teenagers, be shackled like this.   Rest assured that Delara, too, will be freed and we will bear witness to that day.  Thank you, Mrs. Darabi, please give everyone our best and take care.   Bye.
