HRANA – Mohammad-Bagher Bakhtiar, a political prisoner held in Evin Prison, was transferred to Taleghani Hospital in Tehran four days ago due to deteriorating health and remains under medical care.
His daughter, Hanieh Bakhtiar, stated: “For the past four days, my father, Mohammad-Bagher Bakhtiar, has been hospitalized due to health problems after being transferred from Evin Prison. Since yesterday, his hands have been cuffed to the hospital bed. My father suffers from multiple illnesses that require proper medical attention. Holding him in Evin Prison under such conditions poses serious risks.”
In May 2025, Bakhtiar was taken to Evin Prison to serve a two-year prison sentence, six months of which was set to be carried out under electronic monitoring.
He had been arrested on February 13, 2025, during a gathering protesting the continued house arrest of three political figures, and spent more than a month in detention before his sentencing.
