Iran: Political prisoner denied medical care

NCRI – The Iranian regime’s authorities in Gohardasht prison have denied a political prisoner receiving medical care. It is more than one year that the prisoner has been diagnosed with possible Leukemia (cancer of blood cells), according to the information received.

Mr Saleh Kohandel has been prevented from being hospitalized for treatment. His family had arranged the last two visits to hospital on their own expenses however the authorities prevented the visits.

During the past two years the Iranian regime’s judiciary officials, particularly the Tehran’s Prosecutor General, Abbas Jaafari Dowlatabadi, have been imposing sever restrictions on some political prisoners leading to their physical annihilation.

Political prisoners Mansour Radpour in Gohardasht Prison, Hoda Saber in Evin prison and Hassan Nahid in Evin prison have lost their life in prison because of the restrictions.  

Mr Saleh Kohandel was arrested five years ago on the charge of contacting the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). On year later he was sentenced to ten years imprisonment by infamous judge Haddad.
