Iran: Atena Daemi sent to hospital

Political prisoner Atena Daemi
Child rights activist Atena Daemi was sent to medical centers outside of prison and underwent various tests and an MRI. Prior to this Mehdi Khodabakhshi, the representative of Tehran’s public prosecutor and the supervising assistant prosecutor of Evin Prison was not willing to allow Daemi’s transfer to medical centers outside of prison.
However, she was finally sent to a hospital on Monday, September 14, and after undergoing various tests and an MRI – which took about 3 hours – she was returned to the women’s ward in Evin.
Daemi, 27, was arrested while at her father’s house by plainclothes agents on October 21, 2014 and transferred to ward 2A of the Revolutionary Guards in Evin Prison.
She has been under temporary detention in the women’s ward of Evin Prison for over 10 months now, waiting an appeals court opinion.
Daemi is also having heart problems. Furthermore, while in solitary confinement she began suffering skin illnesses due to the fact that she was kept in poor hygiene conditions and had no access to fresh air or even sun light. Her vision has also seriously deteriorated.
