Denial of Medical Leave for Hassan Mardani, Temporary Release of Mohammad Reza Ghaytarani, Protest Prisoners

The Intelligence Office of Boukan has opposed the medical leave request of Hassan Mardani, a political prisoner from Boukan. According to a report by Kurdpa, Hassan Mardani suffers from heart and prostate issues while in prison and requires medical attention and the use of medical leave, but has been deprived of this right due to the interference of the 'Intelligence Office of Boukan.' The report adds that the opposition of the Intelligence Office and its direct intervention have led to his deprivation of medical leave. Hassan Mardani was sentenced to three years in prison in Azar 1402 on charges of 'membership in one of the Kurdish parties opposing the Islamic Republic' by Branch 101 of the Boukan Criminal Court and was transferred to Boukan Prison on Bahman 10 of the same year for the execution of the sentence. This political prisoner had previously been arrested on Mordad 10, 1402, by security forces without a judicial order and after about two months of interrogation at the Boukan Intelligence Detention Center, was transferred to the prison of this city. He was temporarily released in mid-Mordad after posting a bail of one billion tomans until the end of the legal proceedings. In another news, Mohammad Reza Ghaytarani, one of the detainees from the nationwide protests of 1401, was temporarily released from Mahabad Prison after posting a bail of one billion tomans until the end of the legal proceedings. According to the website Kolbernews, 22-year-old Mohammad Reza Ghaytarani was also arrested by security forces on Mehr 1, 1401, in the Independence Square of Mahabad and after a few days of detention at the Mahabad Intelligence Detention Center, was transferred for interrogation to one of the security detention centers in Urmia. After the interrogation process was completed, he was returned to Mahabad Prison and after two months of detention, was released on bail. A letter from three political prisoners in Qazalhessar Karaj states that the deprivation of medical care for Afshin Bayamani and Saman Yasin is 'systematic murder.' The imprisonment of Hossein Shandizadeh, a prisoner editor, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison; 5 years as the maximum enforceable punishment.
