"Fatima Tadzidi's" return to prison is a symbol of the regime's cruelty in denying treatment and suppressing prisoners.

Fatemeh Tadashi's return to Kachhui Prison after the end of her medical leave is an example of a violation of prisoners' human and political rights, which once again demonstrates the Islamic Republic's disregard for the health and freedom of political prisoners.

In the latest case of the Iranian government's widespread disregard for the health, freedom, and human rights of political prisoners, Fatemeh (Mojgan), a political activist and teacher sentenced to imprisonment and exile, has once again returned to Karaj's Kachou Prison, a move that has sparked human rights reactions and paints a bitter picture of the repression of the Iranian judicial system.

This return to prison took place yesterday, Wednesday, December 2, 2021, when his medical leave period ended and officers transferred him back to the ward.

Ms. Tadashidi was sent on leave in early October after posting a heavy bail. According to her relatives, the leave was granted for the purpose of continuing her treatment. However, the leave only lasted two months and then ended in an unprecedented manner, even though her leave was for three months and she still needed treatment and recovery.

This worrying decision was made while the treating doctors had requested that his treatment continue, but the forensic doctor and the judge executing the sentences refused to extend the leave and returned the teacher to prison before completing the treatment process, an action that international human rights organizations consider a clear violation of the fundamental rights of prisoners.

Ms. Tadazi, who was sentenced to six years in prison and two years of exile to Zanjan by the First Branch of the Karaj Revolutionary Court in late January 2023, is facing charges such as "propaganda against the system," "seducing and inciting people to war," and "insulting the leadership," charges that human rights activists consider political and ideological and lacking the merit of real criminal charges.

These vague and broad accusations, used against many critics and activists in Iran, reflect a policy of systematic repression of political and social opponents, including women protesters and activists who have been arrested during the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement.

The lawsuit for teaching status must be seen in the context of a more threatening pattern in Iranian prisons. Credible reports from human rights organizations indicate the deaths of several prisoners in Iranian prisons due to the denial of essential medical care, examples that show that authorities often ignore timely treatment and endanger prisoners’ health.

Global activists have called on Iranian authorities to demand the immediate release of prisoners of conscience and political prisoners and to end the wave of executions and detention in unsanitary conditions.

The teacher's return to prison after the termination of her medical leave is not only a violation of her individual rights, but also a symbol of the Iranian judicial system's cruelty in dealing with the illness, suffering, and protests of political prisoners.

This is more than an individual case. What happened to the teacher demonstrates a deliberate disregard for international human rights law and firm principles such as the right to health, treatment, and freedom of expression, rights that Iran is obligated to uphold under international treaties.

His return to prison, along with other reports of political prisoners in serious danger and deprived of their basic rights, should serve as a serious warning to the international community and human rights organizations that the situation of political prisoners in Iran is in crisis and requires urgent attention.
