Relieve from jail rejected for three Kurdish political prisoners



The judiciary apparatus and security institutions turned down relieve from jail for three Kurdish political prisoners despite their poor health conditions.
Afshin Sohrabzadeh, 23, has cancer and needs medical treatment outside of the prison. This prisoner is suffering from intestinal cancer and internal bleeding. He is in very poor conditions and it has been over a year that his request for relieve has been turned down.
Mohammad Hossein Rezaie in Minap Prison was transferred to a hospital to undergo surgery. On Saturday, April 4 he was returned to prison immediately after undergoing surgery. The transfer of this Kurdish political prisoner took place while the physician had said he needs a 3-month rest period outside of prison.
Karim Mousazadeh has been on hunger strike for 16 days, protesting the fact that he was not released despite his prison term coming to an end. The physical conditions of this Kurdish political activist is deteriorating every day and so far judiciary and Minab Prison officials have not replied to his requests.
