Parvin Mirasan, an elderly political prisoner held in Evin Prison, is facing serious health complications and multiple medical conditions. Despite having approximately three months remaining from her prison sentence, her requests for conditional release and furlough leading to release have been denied.
Her physical condition is described as deeply concerning.
Ms. Mirasan suffers from Parkinson’s disease, and her cardiac problems have worsened in recent months. Severe joint pain, persistent tremors, and balance disorders have significantly limited her ability to walk and carry out daily activities.
She also suffers from diabetes and intestinal adhesion. Despite her deteriorating health and advanced age, authorities have not approved her requests for conditional release or furlough that would lead to her release.
Who is Parvian Mirasan?
Born in 1957, Parvin Mirasan lost both of her sons when they were young. Her only daughter currently lives abroad.
She was arrested in Shiraz on November 4, 2022, during the nationwide protests, by intelligence agents affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard Corps and transferred to Adelabad Prison. In February 2023, she was transferred to Tehran and, following the completion of interrogations, was moved to the women’s ward of Evin Prison on March 19, 2023.
After 17 months without a final judicial determination, she was sentenced in April 2024 by the Tehran Revolutionary Court to four years in prison on charges of “assembly and collusion” and “propaganda against the state.”
