On Wednesday, May 10, Asghar Sepehri emphasized the necessity of recovering at home for 'bone repair of Fatemeh Sepehri's hand' in a tweet, stating that she is taking antibiotics and painkillers to prevent infection and control severe pain after 'surgery on her left hand' and that she requires 'specific foods and vitamins' that 'are not available in prison.' According to the doctor's orders, Ms. Sepehri must consume 'milk, yogurt, butter, vegetables, fresh fruit, plant proteins, and foods rich in vitamins A and C' for 'wound healing and fracture repair.' Fatemeh Sepehri, a political activist and signatory of the '14th Statement,' was arrested again on September 21, 2022. The judiciary has sentenced her to 18 years in prison. In addition to her third surgery on her left hand, she suffers from 'high blood pressure and diabetes' and, according to the doctor, must be 'away from psychological pressure and stress' during her treatment. One day before her arrest, this political activist told Voice of America: 'The people do not want the Islamic Republic, and this time they will finish the job.'
