Human Rights Activists in Iran

Eftekhar Barzegarian, a jailed student activist from the Firdosi University in Mashhad who has been detained since September 2009 is suffering from serious illnesses and constantly vomits blood on a daily basis.
Refusing the medical advice of the prison infirmary to put more pressure on this student activist, the Protection Department of the Vakil Abad Prison in Mashhad has barred him from receiving medicine in the past few days and has prevented him from sleeping on a bed.Despite the fact that his interrogations ended last October and a bail for his release was provided by his friends, this student activist is still illegally detained in this prison.
