From: Evin Prison-Ward 350 To: you Call in support of sick political prisoners from 47 political prisoners from Ward 350 of Evin prison in Iran With great thanks and appreciation to the organizers of this campaign in Europe, United States and Canada We, political prisoners, both with and without ailments, in Ward 350 are suffering greatly from lack of medical attention due to problems created by the Islamic regime. Many of us are in danger of losing our lives and many of us have developed defects due to lack of aid. Aside from the many pressures and difficulties prisoners face every day; many prisoners have acquired ailments due to the lack of hygiene and improper medical care. The medical aid here is minimal, limited and ineffective. In many cases prisoners have to wait weeks or even months before someone comes to look them or they are sent outside prison which often worsens their condition. Getting involved in the paper work and red tape in order to insist to go to a hospital is always met with humiliation, insults and harassment by prison doctors and guards. Usually in the hospital the sick patient is chained to the bed and treated inhumanely. The treatment is so horrible that most choose to suffer from their sickness instead of demanding to go to a hospital. Although some have very severe illnesses they refuse to wear the humiliating prison uniform and to be hand cuffed and as such they are refused a visit to the hospital. Medical aid, proper nutrition and a hygienic environment are all being made worse every day for prisoners. We the undersigned declare our greatest appreciation for the sincere and unwavering humanitarian support of the campaign of Do Not Let Their Heartbeats Stop. We would like to bring to your immediate attention the dire situation of the lack of medical care for political prisoners and ask for your support.

This is a two-month campaign from 10 October 2013, ( the World Day Against the Death Penalty) to 10 December 2013 ( the Human Rights Day). The purpose of this campaign is to highlight the condition of these political prisoners, to expose regime’s practice of silently killing these prisoners by depriving them from medical attention and to put pressure on the regime to provide medical attention. The list of political prisoners deprived of medical attention: more than 70 prisoners . Every day we publish the description of one or two political prisoner(s) along with their medical condition. You can find the description of the cases which so far has published via: cfppienglish.wordpress/2013/10/20/cases-dont-let-his-heartbeats-stop/ Please sign a petition in the support of political prisoners: change.org/en-GB/petitions/don-t-let-their-heartbeats-stop you can support further by: cfppienglish.wordpress/campaigns/current-campaigns/dont-let-their-heartbeats-stop/take-an-action/ The lack of medical attention has put the lives of hundreds of prisoners in danger but and the condition of prisons are horrific but unfortunately not many people know about it.
