The Iranian Resistance calls on all international bodies and mechanisms to resort to effective and immediate measures to save the life of political prisoner Ayatollah Hossein Kazemaini Broujerdi who is at the risk of execution.
On Saturday morning, October 4, following a sit-in and the insistence by Mr. Broujerdi’s family to see him, a short visit ensued. Regime’s henchmen brought Mr. Broujerdi to the place of the visit while his hands and feet were in chains. He is being kept in solitary confinement cells allocated to prisoners condemned to death who are about to be executed and he is in dire physical condition. In this visit, Mr. Broujerdi has said that he has been severely tortured.
On Wednesday, October 1, Ayatollah Broujerdi was suddenly transferred from the special clerics’ ward in Evin Prison to the solitary confinement section in this prison. Last week, Mullah Mohammad Movahedi, “special prosecutor for clerics”, visited Mr. Broujerdi and described his beliefs and views that were a different interpretation than that of Khamenei as “apostasy and heresy” and stated that his sentence is death.
Mr. Broujerdi was arrested in October 2006 and in a sham trial was condemned to 11 years in prison. Mr. Broujerdi who is suffering from many ailments due to eight years of imprisonment in regime’s medieval prisons is deprived of essential medical treatment.
