Authorities are denying a leave for medical treatment for political prisoner Seyed Hadi Ghayemi, who was arrested in post-election events on charges of supporting the Mujahadeen. Ghayemi was originally sentenced to death, but the sentence was converted to 15 years in prison in exile. 64-year-old Hadi Ghayemi suffers from heart and kidney disease, and submitted numerous requests for leave to receive medical treatment, all of which were denied.
