NCRI – Political prisoner Mr. Mohsen Dokmechi, 50, who is suffering from Pancreatic Cancer, is in critical condition due to lack of essential medical care. Symptoms of the illness became apparent months ago, yet the mullahs\u2019 henchmen refrained from giving him any medical attention. Now, due to the progress of his cancer, he is suffering from severe pains and has lost a lot of weight. He was transferred to Taleqani Hospital last week.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The henchmen cuffed his hands and legs to his bed, even though he had no strength to move. He underwent a five hour surgery in the Modares Hospital on Thursday, December 30, and is now being guarded by three revolutionary guards in the hospital\u2019s Intensive Care Unit. According to doctors\u2019 recommendations, he must undergo chemotherapy immediately and be transferred to a specialist hospital for treatment. However, the Iranian regime\u2019s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) is obstructing the transfer, even prohibiting his family from visiting him.<\/p>\n
Mohsen Dokmechi was among the political prisoners of the 1980s who endured years of confinement and torture for supporting the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI). Being among the well-known merchants of Tehran, he was arrested in September 2009 for his daughter\u2019s stay in Ashraf and financially aiding families of political prisoners. Following his detention he was immediately transferred to\u00a0 notorious Ward 209 of Tehran\u2019s Evin Prison. During this period he was subjected to various pressures and tortures. His state severely deteriorated in the absence of adequate hygienic and medical attention.<\/p>\n
Many other political prisoners, including Messrs. Mashallah (Hamid) Ha\u2019eri suffering from acute heart disease, Jafar Kazemi, suffering from sciatic, and Mr. Mohammad Oliyaie-Fard, suffering from cancer are among the other prisoners who are deprived of the minimum medical attention and are in critical conditions.<\/p>\n
The Iranian Resistance calls on all international human rights organizations, physicians\u2019 unions and all related entities to condemn the appalling condition of political prisoners, especially prisoners suffering from ailments, and calls for assignment of an international delegation to investigate\u00a0 the conditions of prisons and political prisoners in Iran.<\/p>\n
