Frau Mir-Qilokhani sitzt seit drei Jahren für Ihren Mann in den USA in Sippenhaft. Ihr Mann wollte Nachtsichtgeräte aus Österreich in den Iran verkaufen, was gegen Sanktionsbestimmungen der USA verstößt.

Iranian woman held in SHU for a week
Sun Nov 28, 2010 3:41AM

Shahrzad Mir-Qolikhan, an innocent Iranian woman detained in the United States since 2007, says she was held in solitary confinement for a week.
...
Mir-Qolikhan, then just 26 years old, was arrested in the US in 2007.

Her ex-husband, Mahmoud Seif, allegedly tried to export night-vision goggles to Iran from Austria.
...
But she was detained and sentenced to five years in prison by a Florida federal court in his absence.

The single mother of two has now been in prison for nearly 3 years. Over that time, she says she has been mentally and physically tortured and denied visits from her family members, including her twin daughters, Melika and Melina. She is allowed only one hour and 25 minutes of telephone time a week.

However, the Florida Department of Corrections clearly states that "a visiting schedule shall be implemented to ensure a minimum of two hours a week for inmates to receive visits."

The US has detained several Iranian nationals on charges of violating the US-imposed sanctions against Iran.
