HRANA News Agency – “Ali Salanpour” and “Jamaloddin Khanjani” were sent to hospital outside the prison but later returned to Rajaee Shahr Prison after receiving unsuitable treatment.
According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), On 27 September, 2014, “Ali Salanpour” a Political Prisoner at Ward 12, Rajaee Shahr Prison who is suffering from Cervical Disc was sent to a hospital outside the prison.
A close relative of him told HRANA’s reporter: “Although all prisoners hold insurance policy from State Prison, Security and Corrective Measure Organisation, Ali Salanpour was asked to pay for his treatment while he was transferred to the hospital. However, he contested this request and asked to be sent back to the prison. Iranian prisoners are not allowed to hold cash and they have to use credit cards.”
On Saturday, the 81-year-old Bahai Prisoner, Jamaloddin Khanjani” from Ward 12, Rajaee Shahr Prison was the second person who sent to a hospital outside of the prison.
According to his doctor, he should have been admitted to the hospital for proper treatments as he is suffering from various ailments due to senility but he was taken back to the prison after Dispatching Officers rejected the doctor’s recommendation.
