NCRI – According to obtained reports from Ward 4 of Gohardasht prison in Karaj, the physical condition of Ali Moezzi, a 57year-old father and political prisoner, has been deteriorating since three weeks ago. Although even the prison’s medical office has asked to transfer him to a hospital outside the prison, the clerical regime’s henchmen refuse to do so.
Mr. Ali Moezzi was among the political prisoners in the 1980s. His kidneys, which have been badly injured after enduring torture at that time, are in a worse condition now, so much so that he is not capable of eating and can only drink water.
Ali Moezzi was arrested on November 11, 2008, after a violent raid of his home by the clerical regime’s agents of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). The reason for his arrest was visiting his child and relatives in Ashraf City. After his arrest, Moezzi was transferred to solitary confinement in Ward 8, known as the Sepah (Revolutionary Guards) Ward, and was subjected to interrogation by MOIS interrogators. He spent seven months in solitary confinement at Sepah Ward and endured physical and psychological torture by the henchmen. The clerical regime’s so-called court in the city of Karaj has sentenced Moezzi to five years in prison.
