HRANA News Agency – A Sunni prisoner of conscience who is awaiting execution in Tehran’s Evin prison is being denied access to adequate medical care, despite suffering from a potentially serious health condition.
According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), Shahram Ahmadi, who has already lost his left kidney whilst imprisoned, has been suffering from an ongoing kidney infection for a number of months without adequate treatment. In recent days, he has reportedly been suffering from bleeding from his remaining kidney. Despite this, prison officials have continued to refuse to transfer him to a prison outside of the hospital to receive proper medical treatment.
Shahram has visited the prison infirmary a number of times in recent months, with the prison doctor declaring that he needs to be transferred to a medical center outside of the hospital for further tests and treatment. The Iranian authorities have so far not taken any action to transfer him.
