A prisoner\u2019s death in custody also constitutes an extrajudicial execution, a crime under international law, if those responsible either intended to cause the death or knew with a sufficient degree of certainty that death would be the necessary consequence of their unlawful actions yet persisted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The briefing, which details the circumstances surrounding the death in custody of 92 men and four women in 30 prisons in 18 provinces across Iran since January 2010, is based on Amnesty International\u2019s documentation of a selection of illustrative cases, long-term findings on deliberate denial of access to adequate healthcare in Iran\u2019s prisons, and a comprehensive review of reporting by independent human rights group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 96 cases reviewed are illustrative, rather than exhaustive, since the true number of deaths in custody is likely far higher. This is because human rights violations in Iran often go unreported due to well-founded fears of reprisals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list of cases excludes deaths in custody involving credible reports of physical torture or the use of firearms, which Amnesty International addressed in a separate output in September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ailing prisoners left to die<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amnesty International documented the fatal consequences resulting from prison officials\u2019 common practice of denying or delaying hospital transfers for critically ill prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization also documented how prison officials frequently deny prisoners access to adequate healthcare, including diagnostic tests, regular check-ups, and post-operative care, throughout their imprisonment, which leads to worsening health problems, inflicts additional pain and suffering on sick prisoners, and ultimately causes or contributes to their untimely deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Iran's prison officials are committing shocking violations of the right to life by deliberately denying ailing prisoners lifesaving healthcare &amp; refusing to investigate &amp; ensure accountability for unlawful deaths in custody.

Nor are they staffed by an adequate number of qualified general practitioners, let alone medical specialists, who are only required to visit for one or several hours during the week \u201cas needed\u201d. As a result, prisoners who experience medical emergencies and need specialized medical care must always be immediately transferred to outside medical facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sixty-four out of the 96 prisoners, whose cases Amnesty International reviewed, died in prison. Many died in their prison cells which means they were not given basic medical supervision in their final hours. Some died while held in poorly equipped and staffed prison clinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least 26 prisoners died during transfer or shortly after admission to hospital, following deliberate delays by prison medical staff and\/or prison officials, which proved fatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In at least six cases, critically ill prisoners were moved to solitary confinement, punishment wards, or quarantine sections; four of them died alone in prison while two were eventually authorized for hospital transfers, but it proved too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, both prison clinic medical staff and prison officials accused prisoners experiencing medical emergencies of \u201cfaking\u201d or \u201cexaggerating\u201d their symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lives cut short<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the vast majority of cases, prisoners who died were young or middle aged \u2013 23 were between the ages of 19 and 39, and 26 between the ages of 40 and 59, raising further concerns that lives are being cut short by denial of healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The crisis of systemic impunity prevailing in Iran has emboldened prison officials to persist with deadly denial of medical care to prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crisis is characterized not only by the authorities\u2019 systematic refusal to investigate, but also by their promotion of narratives praising the quality of health services offered to prisoners as \u201cexemplary\u201d or \u201cunparalleled\u201d throughout the world, which indicates that they have no intent to change course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full text of this report in PDF format can be downloaded at the following link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MDE1354472022ENGLISH.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MDE1354472022ENGLISH.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As it is written in the introduction of this report on the website of Amnesty International: \u201cThis briefing documents how Iranian officials are committing shocking violations of the right to life by deliberately denying ailing prisoners lifesaving healthcare and refusing to investigate and ensure accountability for unlawful deaths in custody.
