Rasht- Jan. 19, 2011
ISC reported that Homayoun Abedi Bakhoda has been tried again on the absurd excuse of not introducing himself to the prison on time.
This political prisoner that became paralyzed due to the shooting of regime’s suppressive forces at the time of his arrest was hospitalized on the expense of his own family. Both the hospital’s physician and the coroner have testified that this political prisoner can no more bear the conditions at prison but still the henchmen took him back from hospital to prison and then took him to the court again on wheelchair while his hands were handcuffed to it.
The people at the building seeing the scene protested against the act but were dispersed by the vicious raid of regime’s agents.
Mr. Abedi Bakhoda is not able to urinate after the shooting and his bag must be changed every four hour but after 15 days the henchmen have not permitted this change which can cause danger for him.
Mr. Bakhoda has been imprisoned in 1980s because of supporting PMOI and his brother Hormoz was executed at prison in that decade.
