Leila Hosseinzadeh’s health raises concern
Leila Hosseinzadeh was arrested in Tehran on August 20, 2022. The Hosseinzadeh family is most concerned about their daughter’s health as she has an incurable illness.
Because of her illness, which rendered her incapable of enduring prison conditions, she was released from prison in spring 2020. This is the second time this year the Intelligence Ministry agents violently arrest Leila regardless of her illness.
Prison stress deteriorates Leila’s health. Her family are concerned as Leila has no access to her vital medicines.
A few days after her recent arrest in Tehran, Leila Hosseinzadeh was transferred from Ward 209 of Evin Prison to the detention center of the Intelligence Department of Shiraz, known as No. 100.
