Political Prisoner Zanyar Moradi Denied Medical Treatment
Posted on | september 26, 2012 | No Comments
According to reliable sources from Iran, Iranian officials have denied medical treatment to Zanyar Moradi, a political prisoner on death row. The head of the prison ward reportedly had recommended Zanyar Moradi undergo surgical treatment recently. Sources have informed IHR that Zanyar Moradi suffers from severe back pain and other medical conditions which require treatment.
The denial of medical treatment is a way by which Iranian authorities put pressure on political prisoners.
Zanyar and Loghman Moradi are two political prisoners who, under torture, signed a document holding them responsible for the murder of a regime official that took place in a Kurdish city in Iran.
According to a report by Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran, Zanyar and Loghman Moradi been subjected to torture and threatened with rape.
Neither of these two political prisoners have been allowed visits with their families in more than six months.
