Amnesty slams deteriorating medical conditions in Iran prisons

Amnesty International issued a statement condemning widespread human rights violations in Iran by the mullahs’ regime, and demanding medical care to be provided to prisoners.
According to this statement Ayatollah Kazemeini Borujerdi, 57, who has been in prison for 11 years now, is suffering from numerous illnesses such as diabetes, asthma, Parkinson, heart and kidney illnesses, along with severe pains in his back and legs.
Prison physicians recommended in February 2014 that this Borujerdi must be hospitalized outside of prison. However, no such action was taken.
It is worth noting that Ahmed Shaheed, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran constantly expressed his concerns about reports of inadequate or lack of access to medical services for prisoners. In March of 2015 he said a number of prisoners are on the verge of losing their lives due to lack of proper medical attention.
