Iran – Immediate medical furlough for Hossein Ronaghi Maleki. Letter sent to the Supreme Leader of Iran – 22/07/2013

Your Excellency,
I would like to take the opportunity to call your attention to the case of Iranian blogger Hossein Ronaghi Maleki

Hossein Ronaghi Maleki’s family has been informed by the Tehran Prosecutor’s office that the IRGC Intelligence division has denied their request for his medical furlough.

Due to the lack of specialized facilities, the lack of access to his treating physicians, and lack of proper nutrition, Ronaghi has recently encountered gastrointestinal bleeding and has not been able to take his needed medication for his prostate and kidney diseases.

Hossein suffering from kidney malfunction and prostate and bladder inflammation.

Hossein has decided to launch a hunger strike due to the the authorities’ disregard for a human life and health.

I ask the immediate medical furlough for Hossein Ronaghi Maleki.

Thank you for your attention.
