Cancer-diagnosed 85-year old lawyer dying
slowly behind bars
Despite Gohardasht
Prison clinic emphasizing that an 85-year old lawyer is very ill and cannot
continue his jail term due to blood cancer, authorities continue to refuse to
release him.
Hassan Taffah was arrested back in 2009 by
security forces and transferred to ward 209 of Evin Prison. The charges raised
against this member of the International Lawyers & Jurists Federation were
“moharebe (enmity against God), measures against national security and
propaganda against the state”. (NCRI – Mar 31, 2015)
