Mohammad Banazadeh Amirkhizi, 64 – who has a family member in Camp Liberty – is the latest in an ever-growing list of Iranian political prisoners to be deprived of urgently needed medical care.
Mr Banazadeh has been held in Ward 209 of Evin prison for the past 18 months, and was told by the intelligence ministry he could only be taken to hospital if he was shackled.
Despite his critical condition, he refused the humiliating terms, reports from inside the regime have revealed.
