پدر حسین رونقی وبلاگ نویس زندانی : «پسرم دارد جانش را از دست می‌دهد» !

 

 

Political Prisoner & Blogger Hossein Ronaghi-Maleki's Father: "I Am Pleading for Help...My Son Is

Going to Lose His Life..."



July 7th, 2011 - Despite losing functionality in one kidney and with only 80% functionality in the other, and while suffering from a gallstone, Hossein Ronaghi-Maleki, 25 year old web blogger sentenced to 15 years in prison, continues to be denied medical furlough from prison.

While many know him by his pen name "Babak Khoramdin", to many others he is known as "Iran Proxy" a highly active software development group who established a name for developing anti filter software after the events that proceeded the rigged presidential elections in Iran.  His real name however is Hossein Ronaghi Maleki. He is a 25 year old blogger and an expert in a variety of proxy servers and anti filter software. Though in today's world such an act would be considered fighting censorship and standing up for freedom of expression, unfortunately in the vernacular of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hossein's action was described as an "attempt to overthrow the government" - and for that he must now spend the next 15 years of his life in prison!

From Arrest to Illness....

The web blogger who wrote under the pen name "Babak Khoramdin" was arrested on December 13th, 2009 at his father's house in Tabriz. He was transferred a day later to Evin prison's IRGC [Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps ] Ward 2A, where he spent many months being tortured in solitary confinement. According to his father, Hossein developed kidney disease because while in solitary confinement his only access to water was from the toilet in his cell.

Hossein has lost 80% functionality in his left kidney and 20% functionality in his right kidney and is also suffering from a 17mm gallstone.

Ahmad Ronaghi Maleki made the following statement regarding his son's physical condition: "Hossein's condition is dire and yet the authorities have not allowed him to contact his family.  He has undergone two operations. His physicians have written to both the judicial and prison authorities stating that Hossein is in urgent need of resting at home. Unfortunately the prison officials, the interrogators, the investigators at the prosecutor's office, Judge Pir Abbassi, the head of his office Mr. Satari, Mr. Mehdi Satari, Mr. Satari's brother who works for the Ministry of Intelligence, and his cousin Mr. Parviz Sohrabi have to date not allowed the prison authorities to grant Hossein  medical furlough."

Seizure While in Prison

Hossein's father told Deutsche Welle that on Wednesday July 6th while on his way from Tehran to Tabriz his family contacted him, informing him that someone had called from Evin to let them know that Hossein had suffered from a seizure. Upon hearing this news, Mr. Ronaghi Maleki immediately drove back towards Tehran and went to Evin prison. "As soon as I heard the news, I immediately went to the prison. I pleaded with them to take my son to the hospital, but they insisted that Hossein was not ill and that he was in the ward's bathroom.  I asked them to at least allow Hossein to contact his mother, but they did not listen. I informed the prosecutor's office of my son's dire physical condition, explaining that if nothing was done he may lose his life. I am pleading for help. I am asking that my son's situation be investigated and followed upon .  I even informed the judicial authorities of my son's extremely dire situation, warning them that if nothing is done, my son will probably lose his life."

Mr. Ronaghi Maleki reiterated that his son had no previous illness. He emphasized that his son's kidneys were healthy and that he developed this condition as a result of being tortured and during his time in solitary confinement.

While repeating the names of those responsible for his son's case, Mr. Ronaghi Maleki emphasized that these individuals continue to deny his son medical furlough from prison and stressed that they will continue to keep him in prison under unbearable conditions for so long, that he will eventually lose his life!

Ahmad Ronaghi Maleki told Deutsche Welle: "My question to the Judiciary and the Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran is whether a prisoner deserves to die at the hands of those responsible for his case..."
