Lawyer Dr. Mohammad Oliyaifard who is serving a one year prison sentence for defending human rights was sent to the Evin prison clinic after not feeling well.
According to RAHANA, the doctor in the Evin prison clinic diagnosed Dr. Oliyaifard with leukemia after observing several lumps on his body. The clinic stated that Oliyaifard needs to visit a specialist. Dr. Oliyaifard needs to be transferred to a specialist clinic outside of prison immediately.
Dr. Mohammad Oliyaifard was detained on May 1, 2010 under the pretext of beginning to serve his one year sentence under the charge of “anti-regime propaganda” for conducting interviews. He is currently held in ward 350 of Evin prison. He was previously detained another time on March 8th and was released a week later.
Mohammad Oliyaifard has been the legal representative for various political prisoners. He was also one of the attorneys for the executed juvenile Behnoud Shojaee. After the execution of Behnoud Shojaee, Dr. Oliyaifard gave an interview where he called Shojaee’s execution “illegal.” He was consequently arrested.
