NCRI – Despite being in a critical condition, Delshad Vasimi, a political prisoner held in Karaj Rajayee Shahr Prison, has been returned to prison from hospital while the prison officials have even prevented him from having access to health services. He is now being left in a complicated situation. Having the signs of beatings and even a possible mock execution, the political prisoner is suffering from a severe psychological blow and in a kind of shock.

According to human rights sources from Iran, the security prisoner Delshad Vasimi was transferred to the political prisoners’ hall at Rajayee Shahr Prison on Wednesday October 5, while having signs of injury and specially scratch marks on his neck.

Being in a very poor physical condition, Vasimi was taken to hospital from the political prisoners’ hall, but was returned without completing his medical treatment. He was then transferred to ward 7, hall 21 where the Sunni prisoners are being held.

Regarding Vasimi’s physical condition, a source close to him told Harana: “after his return from hospital, Vasimi has been left for a few days on a bed next to the entrance of ward 7, while being  unable to eat or speak and in a semi-conscious state.”

The source also stressed: “Delshad is severely mentally imbalanced. He is an emergency patient who needs to be hospitalized under the supervision of a specialist. But unfortunately the prison officials pay no attention to his condition and have never pursued his treatment.”

Delshad Vasimi, a Sunni citizen born in 1989 in Paveh and residing in Tehran, was arrested on July 4, 2016.

Previously, the sources had reported on Vasimi’s status when arriving at the Rajayee Shahr political prisoners’ hall: “he has scars on his face and a big mark, similar to a rope mark, is around his neck.”  Having signs of beatings and even a possible mock execution, this political prisoner is suffering from a severe psychological blow and in a kind of shock.
