Committee of Human Rights Reporters

The lack of care of Evin Prison's infirmary in the women's section has led to many physical problems for political prisoners Mahdieh Golro, Pakhshan Azizi and Zahra Jabari.
This is while Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurd student, who was arrested on November 16, has requested to go to the infirmary for more than a month because of muscle cramp and a jaw and gum infection, but she has still not received as answer.
Zahra Jabari who was arrested after the elections suffers from severe rheumatism, bone disease and severe heart ailments and has to be under the care of a specialist, but after 5 months of prison, the necessary coordination to get her medicine has still not be carried out and her physical condition is deteriorating every day.
