Lives at Risk: An Urgent Call from Inside Evin Prison
[]
Center for Human Rights in Iran
A letter from imprisoned Iranian lawyers urging immediate medical care for their colleague, Taher Naqavi, and an urgent appeal to the international legal community to intervene.
Their letter reflects the enduring commitment of Iran’s imprisoned lawyers to their professional and ethical duties.
The systematic denial of medical care to imprisoned lawyers in Iran constitutes a humanitarian crisis and a direct attack on the legal profession itself.
Establish emergency mechanisms to monitor the health and safety of imprisoned lawyers and provide international legal support where possible.
Truly, what must happen before judicial authorities and prison officials recognize the undeniable necessity of providing urgent medical care to a prisoner suffering from serious illnesses in medical centers outside prison?
