Mohammad Nourizad, a political prisoner serving time in Evin Prison, was released on bail.
According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, Mohammad Nourizad, a political prisoner and one of the signatories of Ali Khamenei’s resignation statement, was sent on a week of sick leave with an 800 million Tomans bail on Thursday, July 8th, 2021.
According to Mohammad Hossein Aghasi, Mohammad Nourizad’s lawyer, he was sent on leave under the sponsorships of this lawyer and Mr. Nourizad’s brother.
The political prisoner has been on a hunger and medicine strike for a long time, protesting the situation of himself and his son Ali Nourizad.
Mohammad Nourizad, a political activist, while serving his sentence in Evin Prison, has been given a certificate of intolerance by the Forensic Medicine Commission.
Due to Mohammad Nourizad physical condition and illness, the Forensic Medicine Commission has determined that this political prisoner should not be penalized.
Fatemeh Maleki, Mohammad Nourizad’s wife, had previously announced that the forensic medicine commission had confirmed the bigotry of the sentence and said: “All the doctors stressed that he should not be under any pressure and warned that the risk of death is serious.”
Mohammad Nourizad had repeatedly reached critical condition due to his deteriorating physical condition and had been transferred to a prison clinic or hospital.
According to Mohammad Nourizad’s wife, he was repeatedly anesthetized, but was often sent back to prison due to lack of medical care.
