HRANA News Agency – A Sunni prisoner who was being deprived of adequate medical care in Tehran’s Evin prison was transferred to hospital yesterday after a deterioration in his condition.
According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), Sunni prisoner of conscience Shahram Ahmadi, who is awaiting execution, was transferred to Modarres hospital in Tehran at 5:30pm local time after suffering from excessive kidney bleeding.
Shahram Ahmadi, who has already lost his left kidney whilst imprisoned due to a lack of medical care, has been suffering from an ongoing kidney infection for a number of months without adequate treatment. He 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 prison authorities had, until now, refused to transfer him to hospital to receive proper medical treatment.
