Well apparently authorities in Iran are punishing other female inmates of Evin prison because of a meeting that took place between Faezeh Hashemi and Baha'i Fariba Kamalabadi during her furlough according to this report from the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran:
"Inmates at the Women’s Ward in Evin Prison have been told that their furloughs (temporary leave) have been canceled and that they will no longer be able to send letters to relatives, a source told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.
"Some twenty-five women are known to be inmates at Evin’s Women’s Ward, all of whom are political prisoners or prisoners of conscience.
The measures appear to be collective punishment in retaliation against prisoner and Baha’i leader Fariba Kamalabadi’s high-profile meeting on May 13, 2016 with former Tehran MP Faezeh Hashemi during Kamalabadi’s furlough.

So this is rather sad state of affairs when a powerful state resorts to such punitive retributive measures.
The article also quotes Faezeh Hashemi:
“I paid a visit to Ms. Kamalabadi because she was my cellmate. We lived together for six months,” said Hashemi in an interview with Euronews on May 15, 2016. “Meeting her when she was released on furlough for five days after eight years of imprisonment was a very ordinary thing.”
