According to reports, there is no news on the condition of political prisoner Ali Moezi who is suffering from bladder cancer and Tehran Prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolat Abadi refuses to answer his family’s concerns.
This 58 year old political prisoner was arrested one month before after agents of the Ministry of Intelligence raided his home. He was arrested on June 11 in his home and was taken to an unknown location. Despite his family’s constant pursuits of his condition, they were only told that he was in a solitary cell in Evin Prison’s Cellblock 209 but he has not contacted his family one month after his arrest.
Ali Moezi has received two surgeries for his bladder tumor and the last surgery was carried out a short time before his arrest. He was under the supervision of specialists and had to receive a special injection every month to prevent his illness from deteriorating. Since his arrest, his intelligence interrogators have refused to take this injection from his family to give to him, which can have dangerous consequences for his health.
