According to human rights sources, following the opposition of judicial authorities of the Islamic Republic, the treatment process of Matlab Ahmadian, a political prisoner, has been left incomplete, and he was returned from Tehranpars Hospital to Evin Prison on Wednesday, May 23. According to the report by HRANA, the news agency of human rights activists in Iran, Matlab Ahmadian suffers from multiple illnesses including stomach and pancreatic cancer, testicular infection, and spinal injuries. This political prisoner underwent intestinal surgery at Tehranpars Hospital in Ordibehesht (May) but despite the need for back disc surgery and treatment for a diaphragm tear, the prosecutor's office opposed this. HRANA reports that the medical staff at Evin Prison has repeatedly stated that Matlab Ahmadian's treatment must take place outside of prison. Based on the latest monthly report by HRANA on human rights violations in Iran, prisoners have been denied medical attention in at least 41 cases. Several prisoners have died due to lack of medical attention or delayed treatment in the prisons of the Islamic Republic. Amnesty International reported in 2022 that at least 96 prisoners died in the 1990s in Iran and cited 'prevention of transfer or delay in the emergency transfer of prisoners to hospitals' as one of the main reasons for these deaths. The report emphasized that impunity has allowed prison officials to continue 'depriving prisoners of necessary medical care.' The monthly human rights situation report in Iran, as narrated by HRANA, presents a 'shocking' image of widespread rights violations. Raheleh Rahimipour, a prisoner suffering from a brain tumor, has been 'deprived of treatment' due to her refusal to accept mandatory hijab. Hamzeh Savari and Reza Salmanzadeh, political prisoners held in Qezel Hesar, have been deprived of adequate medical services. Hengaw reports that at least 32 prisoners have died in the prisons of the Islamic Republic in 2023.
