Imprisoned retired teacher Zeinab Hamrang has been hospitalized twice due to dire health conditions over the past two weeks. Her physical and psychological health is critical, and she is deprived of medical leave.
The retired teacher has high blood pressure and kidney problems. She also tested positive for Covid-19 last July. However, the Iranian Judiciary officials have turned down her request for medical leave.
The Revolutionary Court of Tehran has sentenced her to five years in jail for “assembly and collusion against national security” and an additional one year for disseminating “propaganda against the state.”
Zeinab Hamrang, 45, from Ardabil, was arrested in early September 2020 in Khoy, in West Azerbaijan Province, as she was passing through on a trip. She was subsequently transferred to the women’s ward of Evin Prison in Tehran on September 5, 2020.
