Tehran’s Prosecutor rejected the request for conditional release of Christian prisoner of conscience Maryam Naghash Zargaran.
On September 15, 2016, officials of the Prosecutor’s Office informed Ms. Zargaran’s family that she must report back to prison, as soon as possible.
Maryam Naghash Zargaran had been granted medical leave on August 21, 2016, after a relatively long hunger strike. Ms. Zargaran suffers from ASD and underwent a heart surgery nine years ago, which requires her to receive special and constant medical care but prison officials do not agree with her conditional release.
