Ahmadreza Djalali, a Swedish-Iranian researcher imprisoned in Iran, is still denied proper medical care following a heart attack. Despite suffering a heart attack, Djalali has not been transferred to a hospital and is receiving inadequate care in prison. Iranian authorities have promised treatment, but essential medical procedures have not been provided, according to his lawyer. Iran's foreign minister has implied that Swedish policies have led to the current situation, responding to Sweden's demands for Djalali's specialized care. Djalali was arrested in 2016 and sentenced to death on espionage charges.
