Iranian Christian Prisoner Denied Medical Treatment After Spinal Fracture
Source excerpt
Iranian authorities on Oct. 31 denied proper medical treatment to prisoner Aida Najaflou, an Iranian Christian convert, after she fell and fractured her spine. Najaflou, who suffered from spinal disc issues before her arrest, sustained the injury when she fell from her top prison bunk early on Oct. 31. She was taken to a local hospital, where medical professionals diagnosed a fractured T12 vertebra. Authorities refused to allow Najaflou to obtain treatment and, instead, used a stretcher to bring her back to the prison that same day.
