Naib Haji Zadeh furlough denial shocks family as daughter needs urgent surgery. Urmia Prison judge blocks leave without reason.
Iran Human Rights Society, Saturday, December 6, 2025 – Naib Haji Zadeh furlough denial crushes his family today. His young daughter fights severe illness. Doctors plan her surgery within days. The political prisoner stays trapped in Urmia Prison. He begs for emergency leave repeatedly. Yet Judge Karimi rejects every request. No explanation follows the refusals. Worry now consumes the entire household.
Security forces seized him in August 2019. Interrogations lasted weeks. The Urmia Revolutionary Court then struck hard. Judges convicted him of opposing the regime. They first ordered ten years and one day. Appeals later cut it to seven years and six months.
Two extra cases added more time. Authorities charged propaganda against the state. They also punished alleged illegal border crossing. Each charge brought one more year. Total imprisonment stretches long. Urmia Prison holds him firmly. Officials grant zero furlough chances. His daughter’s crisis changes nothing.
Daughter’s Critical Condition Meets Cold Rejection
A close family source shares grim details. The girl’s health collapsed recently. Surgery now stands as her only hope. Relatives rushed furlough applications weekly. They stressed the father’s urgent need at her bedside. Judge Karimi, newly appointed, blocks all pleas. He stays silent on reasons.
This source insists fathers belong with sick children. Denial inflicts brutal mental wounds. The mother manages alone. Siblings watch in fear. Naib paces his cell helplessly. He hears updates through rare calls. Each word cuts deeper. Time races toward the operating room. His absence haunts everyone.
Ongoing Pressure and Fading Hope
Relatives face constant security threats. Prison staff show open indifference. They dismiss medical proof coldly. Lawyers fight inside closed courts. Public campaigns slowly gain traction. Hashtags spread his name online. International groups demand action.
Judge Karimi holds the key. One signature could reunite them. Instead, silence rules. This single case exposes systemic cruelty. Political prisoners lose basic humanity. Children pay the heaviest price.
The family refuses to surrender. They knock on every door. Media spotlight grows brighter. Human rights monitors document each refusal. Pressure builds daily. A father’s love waits behind bars. His daughter needs him now more than ever. The world watches Urmia Prison closely. Justice hangs on one man’s pen.
Human Rights Violations by Denying Furlough to Naib Haji Zadeh
Violation of Prisoners’ Rights and the Right to Humane Furlough– In Naib Haji Zadeh’s case, several instances of fundamental rights violations are observed.
Deprivation of contact and presence with the family (Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)– According to this article, individuals have the right to family support. Opposition to furlough during the child’s illness is a direct violation of this principle.
Inhumane behavior and deprivation of prisoners’ minimum rights (Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)– Depriving a prisoner of presence beside his ill child is considered a humiliating and inhumane behavior.
Right to fair trial (Articles 9 and 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)– Heavy sentences, multiple case fabrications, and lack of transparency in the judicial process are among the manifestations of violations of these articles.
