Zeynab Jalalian is enduring a life sentence, with the world around her growing darker by the day. Arrested for her political activities, she was tortured in custody, and may now go blind. In 2008, she was jailed for her supposed links to the military wing of a Kurdish opposition group. Today, the authorities are denying her the treatment that will save her sight. Urge Iran to release give Zeynab and give her the urgent medical care she needs. The denial of access to medical care in these circumstances amounts to torture.
