Mahdieh Esfandiari, an Iranian citizen who was imprisoned in France on charges of "glorifying terrorism" and was recently returned to Iran, said in a television program: "There was no such thing as halal food in prison, and I had to eat only vegetables for 237 days."

She added: "Hijab was prohibited in prison, and for that reason, I preferred to stay in solitary confinement and not go out."

One of Esfandiari's charges was supporting Hamas's armed attack, a group backed by the Islamic Republic, against Israel.
