April 30th 2014 [Kaleme] – One day after being hospitalized, detained opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi was reportedly released from the hospital and taken back to house arrest. Mousavi’s daughters found out about their father’s transfer back to Akhtar prison as they were heading to the hospital.
According to reports from Kaleme, upon undergoing a coronary angioplasty the opposition leader was taken back to house arrest at Akhtar street. The physicians attending to Mousavi were reportedly unable to place a permanent small wire mesh called a stent [a standard procedure performed in combination with an angioplasty that helps prop the artery open, decreasing the chance of repeated narrowing] and to perform other necessary procedures as a result of the opposition leader’s current heart condition.
Mir Hossein Mousavi’s daughters were allowed to briefly see their parents and to inquire about their well being. The opposition leader who has lost some weight and looked pale was reported as being determined and in strong spirits. Although distressed by the ordeal they had been forced to endure, the daughters report that Zahra Rahnavard was also in good spirits.
Mir Hossein Mousavi’s health took a turn for the worse when he began experiencing both cardiac and digestive problems this past Friday. His family reports that his condition deteriorated significantly by Saturday and a physician was finally allowed to examine him at his bedside on Sunday. Despite the detained leaders dire health, he was not admitted to the hospital until Tuesday April 29th where he underwent a coronary angioplasty and was sent home following the completion of the procedure. Mousavi’s daughters were not informed of the opposition leader’s admittance to the hospital and were not allowed to be present while he was being treated.
Mousavi’s physicians had warned the ruling establishment for months about the detained leader’s deteriorating heart condition and the need for urgent treatment by coronary specialists. Their warnings however seemed to have fallen on deaf ears as his treatment was not only repeatedly delayed but he was also denied access to his trusted physicians.
