Iranian Political prisoner Elaheh Fouladi is suffering from heart complications and a high heart rate. The prison conditions have aggravated her illness, making it physically unbearable for her to remain incarcerated. Despite her acute physical condition, the prison authorities and judiciary have kept her in prison. Elaheh, born in 1978 in Khalkhal, Ardabil Province, is married with two children. She was an under graduate university student when she was arrested at the airport on January 23, 2020, along with her husband, Mr. Sattar Babaei, and taken to Evin Prison. After the interrogation period ended in July 2020, Elaheh Fouladi was released on bail. However, the Revolutionary Court of Tehran later sentenced her to eight years in prison for “propaganda against the state” and “assembly and collusion against national security” due to her association with the Iranian opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). On December 12, 2023, Elaheh Fouladi was re-arrested and transferred to the women’s ward of Evin Prison to serve her sentence. Her husband, Mr. Sattar Babaei, completed a two-year sentence in Evin Prison from 2020 to 2022 on similar charges of “assembly and collusion with the intention of acting against national security” and “propaganda against the state in favor of the PMOI.”
