Human Right Watch has made a statement in which she says that witnesses told after their release, that arrested reformed protestors are under great pressure in prison.
They are not allowed to contact a lawyer or their familymembers.
Intelligence forces have also intensified pressure on the families of detainees to be silent about their cases.
July 15th, the Minister of Intelligence told reporters that the confessions obtained from those arrested could be made public, should the Judiciary decide to air their remarks.
The deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch said that the statement underscores the fears that these so-called confessions are obtained under duress.
Some detained reformist leaders, including Mostafa Tajzadeh, Behzad Nabavi, and Hamzeh Ghalebi, have had no contact with their families since their arrests more than a month ago.
Another released prisoner told that when detainees are allowed to make short phone calls home, it is only in the presence of prison guards, who tell them what they are allowed to say.
Human Rights Watch urges Iran to stip the arrests and intimidations.
