His physical condition has been deteriorating, but he had previously been denied hospital treatment. Mr. Naeimi was arrested in May 2008 together with six other “Yaran” They were charged with “formation of the Baha’i sect” and “spying for Israel”, and given 20-year prison sentences.

He received treatment in Tehran’s Heart Center for nine months in 2013 and 2014, but on August 9, 2014, he was taken back to Raja’i Shahr prison, although the forensic doctor had certified that he was unable to bear imprisonment.
