Nasrin Javadi, a labor activist imprisoned in Evin prison, has been deprived of proper medical care despite her physical condition.
Nasrin Javadi (Azam Khezri Javadi), 65, suffers from several diseases, including osteoporosis. Despite Mrs. Javadi’s repeated requests to be sent on medical leave, the relevant authorities use various excuses to prevent her from being sent to the hospital. At the same time, she seriously needs to be sent on medical leave to receive specialized treatment and get injected with osteoporosis drugs.
Nasrin Javadi has had physical problems many times in prison. Still, the prison’s dispensary or the emergency forces suffice to give her an IV injection to improve her physical condition.
Ms. Javadi was summoned to Tehran’s Public and Revolutionary Court in 2022 to serve her 5-year sentence. Meanwhile, she suffers from many diseases and takes medicine frequently due to her old age. Her lawyer also submitted a doctor’s certificate to the court stating that she could not bear her imprisonment. Nasrin Javadi finally went to Evin prison on July 2, 2022, to serve her sentence.
Nasrin Javadi is a former employee of the Medical Equipment Distribution company, a social security retiree, a member of the founding board of the Labor Council of Social Security Retirees (BASTA), and a member of the Free Union of Iranian Workers.
Nasrin Javadi spent 50 days in solitary confinement.
