Davood Rezvani, a member of the board of directors of the Workers’ Syndicate of a Vahed (Public Bus) Company, detained in Evin prison, has been deprived of being sent to the hospital despite needing medical attention.
According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, on Tuesday April 9th, 2024, Mr. Razavi, who suffers from gastrointestinal problems, was deprived of being sent to the hospital due to non-compliance with the prison authorities’ order to wear prison clothing.
This comes as Mr. Razavi was previously deprived of being referred to the hospital for similar reasons on February 20th, 2024.
Mr. Razavi was arrested by security forces on September 27th, 2022. He was subsequently transferred to Ward 209 of Evin Prison, Great Tehran Penitentiary, and Ward 6 of Evin Prison.
On March 6th, 2023, he was sentenced by Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court to five years of imprisonment and two years of deprivation from activities on social media and political groups on charges of “assembly and collusion against national security.”
The verdict was upheld by Branch 36 of the Tehran Province Appeals Court on July 2nd, 2023.
The deprivation of Davood Razavi from adequate medical services is considered a violation of human rights.
