Ahmadreza Djalali, a Swedish-Iranian researcher imprisoned in Evin prison in Tehran, suffered a heart attack, according to his wife, Vida Mehrannia. Djalali, arrested in 2016 and sentenced to death on espionage charges, was moved to the prison's medical section. Mehrannia reported that Djalali was informed he would not be able to see a cardiologist until Sunday, despite his urgent need for medical attention after nine years of deteriorating health. Mehrannia has appealed to Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard to take immediate action for Djalali's release, emphasizing the immediate danger to his life due to his health condition. The Swedish government has previously called for Djalali's immediate release and access to medical care, acknowledging his dire situation. In a related development, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticized Sweden's policies towards Djalali and condemned an arson attack on Iran's embassy in Stockholm. Araghchi urged Sweden to prevent such criminal acts and to reconsider its stance on Djalali, who he claimed has access to necessary medical services in prison.
