Based on received reports from the organization Human Rights Activists for Democracy in Iran, prisoner of conscience, Mr. Kazemeini-Boroujerdi suffered a heart attack and pulmonary hypertension in his cell in Evin prison. However rather than being transferred to a hospital, the prison authority transferred him to the on-sight infirmary which is hardly equipped to deal with any such emergencies. He was kept in the infirmary for a short time and then returned to his cell. Mr. Boroujerdi who is at the beginning of his eighth year of his imprisonment, has continued to experience serious heart and pulmonary issues throughout the years. On Sunday morning, September 29th, he began to once again experience extreme pain in his chest and shortage of breath that was untreated the entire day; finally on Monday morning the chest pain and shortage of breath combined, lead to a heart attack.
