The
back pain of Reza Shahabi has now referred to his left leg, so that he was
transferred to the sick ward of the Evin- prison last week. Due to the lack of
medical treatment and being insulted by the sick ward responsible and the
physician Reza requested to go back to prison. He has severe pain and can walk
with the help of his prison mates; he receives morphine and cortisone injections
against his severe pain. The prison authorities refused to transfer him to
hospital for MRT, because of critical conditions of “election”. They accuse him to exaggerate his pain and pomposity.
