Ibrahim Parsamehr detention in Sheiban Prison, Ahvaz, worsens with diabetes and infections. Authorities block treatment despite acquittal.
Iran Human Rights Society, Wednesday, November 19, 2025 – Ibrahim Parsamehr detention shocks human rights advocates. Security forces hold this lawyer in Sheiban Prison, Ahvaz, despite his acquittal. Diabetes ravages his health. Dental infections spread unchecked. Prison guards deny transfers to doctors. Pain grips him daily. Therefore, his life hangs in peril. Iran Human Rights Society exposes this on November 19, 2025. Parsamehr, born in 1973, defended Christian converts boldly. He aided 2022 uprising detainees too. However, IRGC Intelligence targeted him for that. They arrested him violently on June 14, 2025. Now, they ignore his pleas for care. Families fear the worst. Activists demand his release now.
This case reveals deeper issues. Sheiban Prison starves inmates of medicine. Guards cite pretexts to block help. Parsamehr endures fever and numbness. Fellow prisoners witness his agony. Yet, officials stay silent. Furthermore, his online trial lacked a lawyer. Charges crumbled in court. Still, they chain him under “investigations.” Legal experts decry this as arbitrary. Parsamehr’s story urges global action. End the neglect. Free the innocent.
Violent Arrest and Months of Torture in Safe Houses
IRGC Intelligence agents stormed Ibrahim Parsamehr’s home on June 14, 2025. They burst in with force. Violence marked the raid. Agents ransacked his Tambi village house in Bagh-e Malek County. They seized belongings without mercy. Parsamehr, a dedicated lawyer, faced immediate brutality.
Sources confirm harsh treatment followed. Guards dragged him to safe houses. There, interrogations turned savage. Beatings rained down for four months. Torturers demanded forced confessions. They broke his body and spirit. Psychological abuse piled on. Only then did they shift him to Sheiban Prison’s Ward 5. However, scars linger deep.
Acquittal in Court but Continued Detention Under “Investigations”
Ahvaz Revolutionary Court reviewed Ibrahim Parsamehr’s case online. He lacked a free lawyer. Prosecutors hurled charges wildly. They accused him of “disturbing the public mind.” “Propaganda against the regime” followed. “Contact with a hostile country” capped it. Yet, judges acquitted him fully.
Despite this win, freedom evaded him. Judiciary and security dig in. They label his hold “ongoing investigations.” No papers justify it. No notices arrive. This sham violates innocence principles. Experts slam it as arbitrary detention. Parsamehr rots unjustly.
Furthermore, online sessions hide flaws. No lawyer aids the accused. Rushed verdicts favor power. Acquittal should mean release. Instead, chains tighten. Activists rally against this twist. Justice demands his exit now.
Pressure Due to History of Representing Sensitive Cases
Ibrahim Parsamehr earns his stripes as a first-grade lawyer. He champions Christian converts fiercely. During the 2022 nationwide uprising, he defended Bagh-e Malek detainees. Pro bono work defined him. This record irks authorities deeply.
Security views him as a threat. His clients challenge the regime. Therefore, threats shadow his cell. Guards warn him often. “Publicize this, and suffering worsens,” they hiss. Families face the same gag. This tactic silences voices for years.
Close allies share the strain. Parsamehr holds firm amid fear. However, isolation bites. His history fuels the fire. Defenders of the oppressed pay dearly. Yet, his resolve inspires. Break the quiet. Amplify his fight.
Deteriorating Health and Deprivation of Treatment
Ibrahim Parsamehr’s body betrays him now. Diabetes weakens him steadily. A brutal dental infection joins the fray. Gums swell with pus. Pain throbs without end. Prison blocks specialist visits. Pretexts abound. Transfers to clinics vanish.
Inmates report his decline sharply. Fever spikes daily. Facial numbness spreads. Basic pills stay denied. Neglect courts disaster. Infections could rage wild. Serious harm looms close. Guards watch indifferently.
This denial endangers all. Sheiban’s ills mount unchecked. Parsamehr fights on alone. However, time erodes his strength. Families plead in vain. Care must come swiftly.
Deliberate Refusal of Treatment; A Systematic Approach
Sheiban Prison repeats this cruelty often. Doctors there admit limits. Facilities fall short. Transfers need security nods. Those nods rarely fall. Opposition blocks aid routinely.
Parsamehr joins a grim list. Political and common inmates suffer alike. Reports pile up on risks. Medical voids breed death. This approach feels deliberate. Guards wield health as weapon.
Furthermore, Khuzestan’s prisons echo the pattern. Neglect structures deep. Lives dangle by threads. End this systemic rot. Demand humane care now.
Beating by Plainclothes Agents in December 2022
Plainclothes agents ambushed Ibrahim Parsamehr in December 2022. Fists flew without warning. Blood stained his face. Bruises bloomed wide. They rushed him to hospital battered.
He had pledged pro bono aid for protest detainees. That vow sealed his fate. Regime forces struck again. A nasal fracture shattered bone. Head blows pounded relentlessly. Months of pain followed. Agony dragged on.
Under today’s strains, danger peaks. Pressures mount. Medicine flees. Illegal chains bind. Parsamehr’s life teeters. kin worry endlessly. Act before it’s too late.
Another Example: Ahmad Naseri in Coma
Ahmad Naseri, 36, lies in coma now. Sepidar Prison in Ahvaz failed him. Medical neglect crushed his health. Officials at Imam Hospital watch helplessly. His family rejects the “suicide” tale. They call it a cover for failure.
This mirrors Parsamehr’s plight. Khuzestan jails breed tragedy. Sheiban and Sepidar share the blame. Dozens face mortal threats. Structural denial kills quietly.
Furthermore, families unite in grief. Activists expose the lies. Break the cycle. Save the imprisoned.
Human Rights Violations in the Case of Ibrahim Parsamehr
Arbitrary chains, treatment blocks, and post-acquittal holds shatter rights. Ibrahim Parsamehr endures the regime’s core flaws. Khuzestan prisons peddle neglect and torment. Degrading acts define detention.
Article 3 UDHR: Right to Life, Liberty, Security. Acquittal ignored, threats brew. Detention endangers directly.
Article 5 UDHR: No Torture or Inhuman Treatment. Sick cells without aid, interrogation scars. Violations scream clear.
Article 9 UDHR: No Arbitrary Arrest. “Investigations” veil the sham. Holds lack base.
Article 10 ICCPR: Humane Prisoner Treatment. Neglect strips dignity. Conditions mock humanity.
Article 12 ICESCR: Health Standards. Specialized care denied. Rights crumble under pretexts.
These breaches demand outcry. Parsamehr’s saga spotlights the storm. Push for reform. Hold powers accountable.
