Alireza Seyyedian

Location: Iran (Islamic Republic of)
Arrested: March 2012

Harsh conditions inside Tehran's Evin prison are taking a heavy toll on the health and well-being of Christian prisoner Alireza Seyyedian.

Alireza's family was shocked by his condition when he was allowed home for a short period of parole recently. He was described as having "a blank stare, trembling hands and symptoms of psychosis"; he also started vomiting and having seizures.

Alireza, who is serving a six-year sentence for converting to Christianity, told BBC Persia that he was addicted to drugs to counter insomnia, stress and depression, all prescribed by prison doctors.

He has now returned to Evin prison. More Info
