The family of Shahrzad Mir-Qolikhan, an innocent Iranian woman held in the US jails for the last four years, said that US prison guards have worsened insults, humiliation, mistreatment and mental torturing of Shahrzad even after Tehran released several US nationals in recent months."When the two US nationals were freed, Shahrzad was repeatedly mocked by prison guards and other prisoners," Shahrzad's mother Belqeis Rowshan told FNA."They (US guards) had told her 'we are American and we have the final say in the world," the mother said.

Rowshan along with Melika and Melina Mir-Qolikhan, the teenage twin daughters of the innocent Iranian woman, met with Shahrzad in US prison when Iran released Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, who were detained on spying charges after crossing Iran-Iraq borders illegally in 2009.

She added that one of the American guards had called Shahrzad an "Iranian murderer and a terrorist Muslim" and a fascist, and told her that she would be kept in prison forever.

Earlier this month, Tehran renewed its call on Washington to free the innocent Iranian inmates imprisoned in the US jails, reminding Iran's good will gesture in releasing the three American nationals, Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal."I advise the Americans to renounce violence against the Iranian nation and release the innocent Iranian nationals and avoid repeating this incorrect method," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said.

Mehmanparast called on Washington to reciprocate Tehran's goodwill gesture and release the Iranian nationals jailed in the US, including Amir Hossein Ardebili and Shahrzad Mir-Qolikhan.More than 60 Iranian nationals are being held in US prisons, 11 of them on political grounds and without any proof or evidence.
