Political prisoner Azar Korvandi Musazadeh to serve 5 years in Evin Prison

Political Prisoner Azar Korvandi: Evin Prison Authorities Deny Her Medical Treatment

Tehran, Iran – Azar Korvandi, a political prisoner held in Evin Prison, is suffering from heart disease and urgently needs specialized medical care.

Despite her deteriorating physical condition, the approximately 60-year-old prisoner has been denied hospital transfer and proper medical attention by the Evin Prison authorities.

Azar Korvandi (Musazadeh), a political prisoner since the 1980s, has two blocked heart arteries requiring immediate medical intervention. However, her requests for hospital transfer have been ignored by prison officials.

Azar Korvandi was arrested in the summer of 2019 on charges of collaborating with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and promoting anti-regime propaganda after holding family counseling sessions in her private garden in Shahriar. She was released on bail then but later convicted in December 2021 by the Tehran Revolutionary Court.

Mrs. Korvandi received a five-year prison sentence for “assembly and collusion to act against national security” and an additional one-year sentence for “propaganda against the state.” As supplementary punishment, she was banned from leaving the country for two years and prohibited from membership and activity in social, political, and cultural groups for two years.

After the verdict was upheld by the Tehran Appeals Court and under Article 134 of the regime’s Penal Code, Azar Korvandi’s five-year prison sentence became enforceable.

On July 30, 2023, she was summoned to the First Branch of the Enforcement Office of the Tehran District 33 Prosecutor’s Office, arrested, and transferred to Evin Prison to serve her sentence.
