As Iran gears up for a presidential election in June, the conditions in which prisoners of conscience are held in some of the country's most notorious prisons have worsened. Below are some of the activists, students, journalists, women's rights campaigners, lawyers, artists, former politicians and members of Iran's religious and ethnic minorities who have been jailed or convicted in recent years. Information comes from a variety of sources and is the most recent we have access to.

Scores of arrests and detentions took place throughout the year. Many workers were arrested for supporting the right to organise. Torture is routinely used to extract confessions, and political prisoners are systematically denied medical care. In June, the ILO Committee on Freedom of Association upheld an ITUC/ITF complaint over the illegal repression of the bus drivers trade union headed by Mansour Osanloo who was finally released. Trade union rights are severely limited, and strikes are prohibited.
