A Kurd political prisoner was paralyzed after receiving an injection in prison.
According to reports, 26 year old political prisoner Ali Chak, who is from a village in Sardasht in Western Azarbaijan Province, was transferred to the Mahabad Public Prison infirmary where he received an injection. He became paralyzed in both legs a short time after the injection.
This Kurd political prisoner was once again returned to his cell despite his critical condition and was only transferred to Orumieh Hospital after other political prisoners severely protested this issue.
No measures have reportedly been taken for Ali Chak’s treatment and his condition is deteriorating.
Ali Chak has been sentenced to seven years of prison on charges of cooperating with a Kurd opposition group.
