ICC Note: New reports have documented the abuse of a Christian prisoner being held in Iran’s Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj, Iran. The deprivation of basic medical care has allowed injuries to grow severe. Ebrahim Firouzi was arrested in August 2013. He is joined by 100 other Christians imprisoned across Iran simply as a result of their faith and desire to meet with others who share their beliefs.

12/25/2015 Iran (NCRI) Ebrahim Firouzi, an Iranian Christian prisoner in the notorious Gohardasht (Rajai Shahr) Prison in Karaj, north-west of the Iranian capital Tehran, is being deprived of medical treatment by the mullahs’ regime although he suffers from acute diseases, according to local reports.

It is over a year now that he is suffering of acute pain in the left side of his chest and his condition has deteriorated in the past three months.

Mr. Firouzi was arrested on August 25, 2013 and condemned by a court in Robat Karim, south-west of Tehran, to one year in prison and two years exile in Sarbaz County.
