Sweden – Expressen, May 12, 2025
The Swedish-Iranian researcher Ahmadreza Djalali, who is imprisoned in Iran, still has not received proper medical care after suffering a heart attack last week.
Despite the heart attack he suffered on Thursday in the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran, Ahmadreza Djalali has not been taken to a hospital for treatment. Instead, Iranian authorities have promised that he will be treated inside the prison. However, standard care such as an EKG exam, blood tests, and other routine procedures has not been provided, says Nima Rostami, his lawyer in Sweden.
“There is no medical equipment in the prison. They promised to transport the necessary equipment there. This was supposed to happen yesterday (Sunday), but as of our last contact last night, it still hadn’t been done,” Rostami said.
