Akbar Bagheri Political Prisoner’s Chronic Health Struggles
Akbar Bagheri fights severe intestinal and stomach issues. He experiences swelling and constant pain. Furthermore, hemoglobin disorders plague him. Liver problems add to his woes. Hemorrhoids complicate matters too. These conditions demand specialist care. Surgery might prove necessary. However, prison denies him treatment. This lack endangers his existence daily.

Unfair Trial for Akbar Bagheri Political Prisoner
Security forces arrested Akbar Bagheri on November 11, 2024. They interrogated him for two months in IRGC custody. Then, they moved him to Qezel Hesar Prison. In May 2025, Branch 26 of Tehran Revolutionary Court tried him. Judges sentenced him to three years and seven months. Charges included assembly and collusion against national security.
He lacked a chosen lawyer. The trial denied fairness. Accusations stayed vague without solid proof. This mirrors many political cases in Iran. Officials rely on weak claims. Consequently, injustice prevails.
Akbar Bagheri Political Prisoner’s Past Arrests and Pressures
Akbar Bagheri first faced arrest in March 2018. He protested as a defrauded investor outside Parliament. Judge Salavati sentenced him to nine years. Prisons shuffled him around. He stayed in Evin, Greater Tehran, and Rajai Shahr. Inmates attacked him on orders.
An Evin fire in October 2022 led to his Rajai Shahr transfer. Officials released him temporarily in May 2023. But they rearrested him soon after. Now, Qezel Hesar intensifies his suffering. Pressure mounts relentlessly.
Human Rights Violations Against Akbar Bagheri Political Prisoner
Officials violate key rights by denying care. Article 5 of the Universal Declaration bans torture and cruel treatment. They ignore this outright. Moreover, Article 10 of the Civil and Political Rights Covenant demands humane prisoner treatment. Iran flouts it here.
Article 12 of the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Covenant ensures health rights. Authorities disregard this too. Such neglect equals torture. It breaches Iran’s global duties. Prisons lack basic humanity. Therefore, international criticism grows.
