Leila Hosseinzadeh denied treatment in Adel Abad prison

Political prisoner Leila Hosseinzadeh denied the false statements made by the Chief Justice of Fars Province, Kazem Mousavi, that she did not cooperate with the medical treatment.

Leila Hosseinzadeh, incarcerated in Adel Abad prison in Shiraz, emphasized in a message from prison, “I have requested to be sent to a doctor many times, and so far, no medical treatment has been done for me.” She added, “From the time of my arrest, until now, someone who introduced himself as an internist saw me only once, which did not lead to any medical examination of me at all… They even concealed the results of the Forensic Medicine Commission from me for several months.”

Leila Hosseinzadeh requested an examination by a trusted doctor and specialized tests to be done “away from security interference.”

Leila Hosseinzadeh said in a high spirit that although she is ill and incarcerated “against their own laws,” “I am lively and laughing, trying to overcome fear and I am standing with all those who are standing. Do not worry about me. Although there is suffering in our struggle against the deadly ruling government, we must reinforce life’s dynamism.”

Seyyed Kazem Mousavi, Chief Justice of Fars Province, in an interview with Mizan news agency on December 7, claimed that they had offered medical treatment to Ms. Hosseinzadeh, but “the patient refused to cooperate.”

Leila Hosseinzadeh’s lawyer, Amir Raisian, said that in addition to the Crohn’s disease that Leila Hosseinzadeh was already suffering from, new symptoms have appeared in her. According to a specialist doctor, they might be signs of the immune system attacking the body’s veins and arteries. “Vasculitis” and eye attack is “uveitis” (ophthalmic rheumatism).
