Iran: Death of trade unionist must trigger action to tackle appalling prison conditions - AMNESTY PUBLIC STATEMENT

Amnesty International
September 25, 2015
     "Amnesty International calls on the Iranian authorities to urgently address the inhumane detention conditions prevalent in many of Iran’s prisons, which contribute to medical conditions developing in prisoners or exacerbate pre-existing ones. The authorities must also ensure that all those in detention have access to adequate medical treatment in line with international human rights standards and ensure that those needing specialized treatment are granted medical leave."
