Ahmadreza Djalali, a Swedish-Iranian academic sentenced to death in Iran, suffered a heart attack in Evin prison and is reportedly receiving inadequate medical care. His lawyer, Nima Rostami, emphasized that necessary hospital tests have not been conducted, despite confirmation of the heart attack from medical professionals. Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard has urgently demanded Djalali receive appropriate care and reiterated calls for his release. In contrast, Iranian officials maintain that Djalali has access to medical care, revealing underlying diplomatic tensions between Sweden and Iran regarding his situation.
Nima Rostami, Djalali's lawyer in Sweden, stated, "The nature of this type of disease requires that people should undergo various types of tests in hospital, including an EKG... But such treatment has so far not been provided."
Rostami mentioned, "He has received basic care but has been denied relevant care. The specialized treatment has so far not been administered despite the fact that he still has a low pulse."
Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard expressed, "During the conversation, I demanded that Ahmadreza Djalali immediately receive the specialised care he needs," highlighting Sweden's urgent stance on Djalali's medical treatment.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated, "Instead of walking further into a dead end, I call on my Swedish counterpart to reconsider the choices that have brought us (to) where we are today," pointing towards diplomatic tensions.
