Ahmadreza Djalali is, despite the heart attack that struck him in the notorious Evin prison in Tehran on Thursday, not being treated at a hospital.
Instead, Iranian authorities that he would be treated at the prison, but treatment with EKG examinations, blood tests and other standard care has been absent, says his lawyer in Sweden, Nima Rostami.
There is no equipment at the prison. They would transport the equipment to the prison. They were supposed to do it yesterday (Sunday), but when we had contact last night, it had not happened.
He was allowed to visit the prison's health center on Friday morning, where the heart attack was confirmed, and met a specialist on Saturday who gave him medication.
Djalali, who has researched at the Karolinska Institute, was imprisoned in Tehran in 2016 and was sentenced to death for espionage charges that he has always denied.
During the nine-year-long stay at Evin prison, where torture often occurs, his health has deteriorated significantly.
