Nargess Mohammadi was transferred to hospital on October 11 and hospitalized while chained to bed.
Ms. Mohammadi suffers from lung embolism and muscular paralysis caused by nervous stress during several rounds of imprisonment since 2010.
Her doctors had previously announced that she needed to be hospitalized and treated for her illnesses, an instruction that officials never heeded.
After news of her convulsions on Sundary were reported, her husband, Taghi Rahmani blamed the Iranian judiciary and security as being responsible for Ms. Mohammadi’s aggravated conditions. He said present conditions in hospital would impede her recuperation and could jeopardize her life.
Ms. Mohammadi contracted neural illnesses in 2010, while she was held in solitary confinement in Evin’s Cellblock 209. Her conditionwas aggravated in 2012 in Zanjan Prison after being rearrested.
On October 3rd, Ms. Mohammadi’s neurologist who managed to visit her after five months, prescribed that she should be hospitalized.
On October 7th, as she was being transferred to Evin’s dispensary to receive her injection, she had an encounter with a prison guard as a result of which her blood pressure shooted up and she underwent a nervous condition. On October 8th, she suffered serious convulsions and was transferred to so-called Khomeini hospital but returned to prison without complete recovery.
