A Christian prisoner in Ward 350 of Evin prison, Farshid Fathi, was transferred to Taleghani hospital on April 20, after Revolutionary Guards beat him in prison.

A group of Revolutionary Guards and intelligence officers raided Ward 350 of Evin prison on April 17 and beat tens of prisoners. A number of these prisoners were injured and transferred to medical centres outside the prison.

Reports indicate that Pastor Farshid Fathi was taken to hospital to be treated for a broken toe and a joint injury. Pastor Fathi’s cell-mates confirmed that authorities beat him, causing several injuries to his body. After visiting him and taking X-rays, specialist doctors found his toe was fractured. Doctors put a cast on his foot saying he may need surgery soon.
