Iran: authorities deprive detained lawyer of medical care

                  
                                                 Abdulfattah Sultani

Despite pledges made by the Iranian regime’s public prosecutor office, lawyer Abdulfattah Sultani has yet to be transferred to a hospital for medical treatment, human rights activists report citing news sources.
Last week the public prosecutor office had promised Mr. Sultani would be sent to a hospital on Saturday, September 13th. However, this never actually materialized. 
Mr. Sultani is suffering from shortage of blood, heart beat problems and intestinal illnesses, becoming weaker by the day. However, Iranian authorities are refusing to agree despite continuous follow ups to have him released just to receive medical care.
