New Restrictions for Farzaneh Ghareh-Hosseinlou in Prison; Crime: Voice Call to Congratulate Nowruz

Mohsen Bayat, the lawyer for Farzaneh Ghareh-Hosseinlou, one of the defendants in the case known as 'Ajamian', announced a two-week ban on phone calls and a three-month visitation ban for his client. She is serving her exile in Mashhad and has been sentenced to this punishment for a voice message congratulating the New Year. According to the Shargh Network, Ms. Ghareh-Hosseinlou's lawyer, referring to her poor health condition, stated that a suspicious mass was diagnosed as cancer in her breast last December. After surgery, despite a clear medical forensic opinion recommending two months of leave for treatment outside prison, she was returned to prison. Mohsen Bayat stated that unfortunately, correspondence between Mashhad and Karaj and the excuses of the authorities led to the expiration of Ms. Ghareh-Hosseinlou's medical leave. Meanwhile, her life is at risk and she requires special medical care. Mohsen Bayat urged judicial authorities to take action to rectify this 'incorrect decision' and restore his client's rights. The Islamic Revolutionary Court of Alborz Province sentenced Hamid Ghareh-Hosseinlou, the accused doctor in the case of the killed Basij member Rouhollah Ajamian, to 15 years in prison in April 2023. Initially, this case had 16 defendants, and following the issuance of preliminary rulings in this branch and their confirmation by the Supreme Court, Mohammad Hosseini and Mohammad Mahdi Karami were sentenced to death by the judiciary, despite significant protests inside and outside Iran, these sentences were carried out. However, the cases of the remaining defendants were 'returned to the same branch for review and re-sentencing.' Hamid Ghareh-Hosseinlou and his wife, Farzaneh, were arrested after the fortieth-day ceremony of Hadith Najafi, one of the victims of the nationwide protests in Karaj, when security forces attacked their home. Hamid Ghareh-Hosseinlou, a 53-year-old doctor, is one of five people who were sentenced to death for 'killing a Basij member' and then had their sentences revoked. The detainees in this case have denied the accusation of killing this Basij member. Dr. Hamid Ghareh-Hosseinlou stated: 'I only approached Rouhollah Ajamian to help him and because of my medical oath.' The voice of Farzaneh Ghareh-Hosseinlou from Kachoui prison in Karaj before her exile to Mashhad: 'My and my husband's exile is completely unjust.' Hundreds of doctors have requested that the case of Hamid and Farzaneh Ghareh-Hosseinlou be reviewed in a 'court free of any suspicion.' After a year, Ajamian's brother stated that the execution of Mohammad Hosseini and Mohammad Mahdi Karami 'had nothing to do with the murder of his brother.' Advisor to Velayati: International pressure led to his correspondence in the Ajamian case. The reaction of Dr. Ghareh-Hosseinlou's lawyer to Ajamian's father's claim regarding Velayati's interference in the case: 'IRIB should allow a defense.' The judiciary of Alborz Province: The sentence for Hamid Ghareh-Hosseinlou is 15 years in prison. Exclusive: Description of the torture of Dr. Ghareh-Hosseinlou; threatened with 'beheading' in front of his 13-year-old child.
