Reza Shahabi was also
attacked as recently the security forces raided the section 350 of Evin-prison and
physical abused and assaulted the prisoners.
They tugged Reza Shahabi
and threw him violently out of bed by holding his feet. This brutal act intensified
the back and leg pain of Reza.
Despite this situation
the chief of sick ward of prison refuse to send him and other political prisoners
to a hospital out of the prison with the feeble excuses such as: the minimum
number of requests is not reached or you simulate. Even accessing the sick ward
in prison means many body searches, insult and offense.
In protest against these
conditions Reza Shahabi started a Medical Treatment Refusal beginning August
11, 2013.
