Hossein Ronaghi Maleki returned from hospital to prison

Human Rights House of IRAN -- Imprisoned blogger Hossein Ronaghi Maleki was transferred back to Evin prison after undergoing surgery for the 5th time in the past year.

Blogger and human rights activist Hossein Ronaghi Maleki had been transferred to a hospital again due to his deteriorating health. He was transferred back behind bars in Evin prison after undergoing another surgery.

According to Human Rights House of Iran Ronaghi Maleki was taken back to prison despite the fact that it is imperative for him to receive continued medical care outside prison walls.

During the past year, Hossein has been transferred back and forth from prison to the hospital and has undergone numerous surgeries. But there has been no improvement and Hossein’s health has been endangered each time due to the lack of aftercare, necessary medicine, or adequate medical attention to his disease.

Dr. Mohammad Nourizad who had been Hossein’s cellmate before being released, visited Ronaghi Maleki at Tehran’s Hasheminejad Hospital. Hossein was hospitalized after spending 26 months behind bars with no furlough.

Hossein Ronaghi Maleki has steadfastly rejected any cooperation with the CybeIntelligence Unit of the Revolutionary Guard Corps and has denied all the charges brought against him.
