[2008-12-22] Farzad Kamangar still at risk in the Evin Prison
EI has been informed that on December 18, Farzad Kamangar complained of severe pain and low blood pressure due to a chin inflammation, and he was again denied access to medical treatment.
Kamangar is still being kept in the notorious Evin Prison, ward 209 with other 7 prisoners in a 6 square meter cell. Regular visits by his family in the presence of one of his interrogators are his only comfort.
The 33-year old teacher has been sentenced to death on July 11 after an unfair and quick trial. Amnesty International has decided to raise his case in the international community:
