Mahdieh Golro, student activist in deteriorating condition

The family of Mahdieh Golro, a jailed student who was banned from education, said that she was severely sick and weakened in prison after a visit with her. According to her family, she has been suffering from severe intestine infection from one month ago in addition to the flu and has lost more than 12 kilos (26 pounds).
Golro said that the head of the infirmary came to her cell to check her and refrained from taking her to the infirmary saying that her situation was not critical.
She is currently kept in a small room with 27 other prisoners with unsuitable food and heating systems. Mahdie Golro was arrested with her husband Vahid Lalipour on December 3. (Committee of Human Rights Reporters – Feb. 18, 2010)
