Grave concerns for the life of Atefeh Tajik, detained at Varamin Prison, who has been denied cancer treatment and medication
According to published reports, the health of Atefeh Tajik, 48, who has bone cancer and is being held at Varamin Prison, has deteriorated significantly. The interruption of her treatment and the lack of access to essential medications are putting her life in serious danger.
The progression of the disease has reportedly left her unable to eat. She is also said to be suffering from repeated vomiting and memory problems. Despite this critical situation, her specialized medical treatment reportedly remains suspended.
In response to the authorities’ neglect of her medical condition, several prisoners are reportedly considering going on a hunger strike. According to available information, they have allegedly been threatened with solitary confinement.
