Person
Sanctioned:
No
Background:

Head of the Iran Prisons' Organization.1 According to Iran analyst Saeed Ghasseminejad, "He is responsible for the persistent violation of human rights inside prisons in Iran. Forces under his command have been torturing & denying prisoners medical treatment which led to the death of imprisoned dissidents."2 Mohammadi has tried to cover up the government's systemic abuse of prisoners, claiming Iran's prisons "are fit to be presented to the world," given the system's "treatment of prisoners, its respect for prisoners’ rights and dignity, prison conditions, cultural and educational programs, job training for inmates, sanitary conditions in the prison environment, special attention to women and children, benefits such as pardons, leaves of absence and access to phone lines."3
