Atena Daemi from Tehran, Iran
My name is Atena Daemi. By the time you read this petition I will
probably be in prison. I have been sentenced to 7 years for my peaceful
human rights activism –a fact that has been widely criticized by human
rights organizations, including Amnesty International.
Imprisonment is difficult for anyone but, it is especially
challenging when you are suffering from an illness and denied medical
care. Denying prisoners medical care is a form of torture.
Today, some of Iran’s bravest and most dedicated activists are imprisoned and suffering because the authorities refuse to provide them with medical care. This is a clear violation of domestic and international law. Additionally, the conditions of prisoners who are detained on non-political and criminal charges are even worst.
