Exclusive | Hossein and Mohammad Hossein Sepehri Arrested; Fatemeh Sepehri in Hospital

While Fatemeh Sepehri has been transferred from prison to the hospital and requires immediate open-heart surgery, her brother told Voice of America that agents of the Islamic Republic have arrested her two other brothers, Hossein and Mohammad Hossein Sepehri. Asghar Sepehri, the brother of this political prisoner, confirmed the arrest of his two brothers on Thursday, October 6, and stated that his nieces, the children of Fatemeh Sepehri, have not been arrested. He also tweeted: "Security forces arrested my brother Mohammad Hossein Sepehri and my other brother Hossein Sepehri (the first person on the right) at Qaem Hospital in Mashhad." Mohammad Hossein Sepehri announced hours ago that the results of an angiography indicated that two of the three main arteries of this political prisoner opposing the Islamic Republic are 95% blocked, and open-heart surgery is essential. He also said in a video message: "My sister had a message and asked me to tell Ali Khamenei that I will not stop until I uproot that weed that grew in this pure land in 1979, for which we gave everything, even blood! Death to Khamenei, curse on Khomeini!" Fatemeh Sepehri, a political prisoner held in Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad, was transferred to the emergency department of Qaem Hospital in Razavi Khorasan after experiencing "heart problems" on Wednesday. This political prisoner has undergone three surgeries in the past two years, the third time being sent by the prison, but after the surgery, despite the attending physician emphasizing that "the completion of treatment must be outside the prison environment, as the stress of prison completely halts the treatment process," according to Mohammad Hossein Sepehri, "unfortunately, the authorities not only opposed this but also applied various forms of torture." Fatemeh Sepehri, who was arrested shortly after the killing of Mahsa Amini and the onset of nationwide protests in Iran, has been in prison for over a year. Before her arrest, she told Voice of America: "The people do not want the Islamic Republic, and this time they will finish the job." The pressure on Fatemeh Sepehri's family and her deteriorating health in prison comes at a time when a dual-national prisoner recently died in Evin Prison due to a violation of the right to medical treatment. Mohammad Hossein Sepehri: Fatemeh Sepehri was transferred to the emergency room due to severe pressures in prison. Exclusive; the U.S. State Department is seeking additional information regarding the death of a dual-national prisoner in Evin. Prince Reza Pahlavi: Those responsible for the massacre of Iran's children in "Bloody Friday in Zahedan" will be punished.
