Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein

Mr. High Commissioner,

I am writing to request your urgent attention to the plight of Iranian prisoners of conscience and political prisoners, and in particular prisoners who are denied proper medical treatment.

Before offering information on sick prisoners, I may recall briefly some of the relevant UN rules as well as prison rules in Iran.

Iran: Denial of adequate medical treatment to political prisoners unacceptable

GENEVA (27 April 2016) - A group of United Nations human rights experts* today warned that over a dozen political prisoners in Iran, including some prominent human rights defenders, lawyers and political activists, are at risk of death in detention due to their worsening health conditions and the continued refusal by the Iranian authorities to provide them with medical treatment.

New charges for Ayatollah Boroujerdi after eleven years of imprisonment without leave

Assassination Attempt on Mr. Kazemeini Boroujerdi

According to reports received from Evin prison on the 7^th of April 2016, the agents of Intelligence services, in an inhuman act, placed poisonous ingredients in Mr. Kazemeini Borojerdi’s food, hence poisoning him, as a result of which this prisoner experienced severe pains, in particular in his legs, and his eyesight has been severely affected, and currently the situation of his health is considered to be critical.

The Critical Condition of Mr. Kazemeini Boroujerdi and the End of 11 Years of Sentencing

The 57 years old religious theoretician, Mr. Seyed Hussein Kazemeini Boroujerdi, has been undergoing the most severe physical and psychological tortures in solitary confinement and public cells of the Iranian prisons, and has been serving his sentence since October 8, 2006, until now, due to resistance for his pacifist believes and his stance on the separation of affairs of the state from religion.

As a result of enduring severe tortures, this prisoner of conscious is suffering with numerous acute and chronic diseases, and is experiencing irreparable physical damage to his body parts and organs; including heart and renal disease, respiratory issues, loss of more than 90% of vision in one eye, sever weight loss, lack of balance when walking, and according to the latest reports he has elevated cholesterol, and deformation and inflammation of legs, causing difficulty in walking. This is while Mr. Boroujerdi has been deprived of any kind of proper treatment and appropriate medications since a decade now, and has not been granted a leave of absence even for one minute. Currently, because of being deprived of the right to receive treatment, he is using pain killers in order to calm his pains, which actually do not have much effect on relieving his pains.

Congressman Mike Pompeo,

Congressman Lee Zeldin,

Congressman Frank LoBiondo,

We would like to commend you for your decision to visit Iran to monitor the upcoming elections and, we hope, to closely observe the human and civil rights violations that are tearing at the fabric of our country. These violations continue despite pro-regime propaganda in the media and from the regime’s lobbying organizations in the United States.
