Iran Human Rights (IHR); March 17, 2018: Imprisoned
Iranian-Swedish Scientist Ahmadreza Djalali (Jalali) who is sentenced to death
in Iran suffers from various types of illnesses but the authorities deny him
proper medical treatment. He has had almost 30 per cent weight loss since he
was imprisoned in 2016.
According to Vida Mehran-Nia, Ahmadreza Djalali’s
wife, doctors who had visited Dr. Djalali 40 days ago, had told him that he
might be suffering from a type of cancer and ordered medical examinations for
him. However, prison authorities have not yet sent him to a hospital for the
examinations.
“He is very sick and extremely thin. His weight is
reduced from 81 kg to 51 kg. Despite the recommendation of the Evin Prison
doctor, authorities deny sending Ahmadreza to blood oncology ward in a
hospital. There is high probability that he might be suffering from a type of
leukaemia,” his wife, Vida Mehran-Nia, told IHR.
