Mousavi who has been imprisoned for the past 20 months is suffering from intestine problems. The doctors have informed him that the problem may lead to cancer in the long-run if not treated and his family is extremely concerned since he has been denied medical leave.
He is sometimes transferred to the clinic in prison due to the extreme pain he suffers and is injected with painkillers but the doctors have said that he needs to undergo surgery due to intestine infection.
In the past 6 months, three political prisoners Mohsen Dogmehchi, Hassan Nahid and Hoda Saber have passed away in prison. Mousavi has been sentenced to 7 years in prison and he is in urgent need of medical furlough.
