Among his charges were insulting Khamenei and Ayatollah Rouhani. This verdict was upheld in branch 54 of the appellate court. He, who has suffered from various diseases including severe spinal damage and loss of one kidney, stomach bleeding, eye infection, lung and respiratory problems as a result of the inhuman conditions of the prison and brutal torture by the information agents’ mercenaries, and with infection in his only remaining kidney is on the verge of losing his other kidney.
