Prayer is requested for Mahshar Parandin, a Christian prisoner of conscience denied medical care.
Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reports that Mahshar, an artist, is serving a two-year sentence in Tehran’s Evin Prison.
She has been denied access to necessary medical care.
Mahshar suffers from a heart condition and two tumours, and an informed source claims that she requires immediate surgery. One of the tumours, in her brain, has affected her balance, movement and speech. The second tumour, in Mahshar’s throat, is also reported to have grown visibly larger.
HRANA reports that Mahshar is eligible for parole, but the prosecutor has rejected her request for conditional release.
Prayer Points
Please pray that:
• God will strengthen and encourage Mahshar and bring healing,
• That the prison authorities will allow Mahshar to receive the necessary treatment and that surgery will be successful,
• That Mahshar will be granted parole and that prisoners in Iran will be treated with respect and their dignity upheld.
