Mahmoud Dolat Abadi was arrested after the recent elections (June 2009) and admitted on television under duress that he had smuggled weapons from the United Arab Emirates. Dolat Abadi suffers from a heart and lung condition, arthritis and a slipped disc. After considerable efforts by his family to obtain permission to transfer him to a hospital outside the prison, it was his refusal to wear a prison uniform on his way to hospital that eventually prevented the transfer.
