He was returned to prison after two weeks without receiving adequate medical care.“, published on Amnesty International’s official web site.
Ramazan Ahmad is originally from Kobanê (Rojava, Syrian Kurdistan region), he was arrested in 1999 near the town of Mako in Rojhelat. He was shot 5 times in his leg, arm and abdominal areas.
“Kurdish political prisoner Ramezan Ahmad Kamal emerged from coma on 2 January but he remains unconscious, the medical staff have remained silent about the reasons of his coma.” reported by Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) on 4th January.
Ramazan Ahmad has written a letter signed by 22 other prisoners detailing human rights violation for which they hold responsible officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In his letter he is describing his health condition and how he has suffered physical pain during his time in the prisons of Mako, Ghazvin, Ûrmiye, Rajai Shahr and Evin.
