On Friday, April 5, 2024, Seyed Mokhtar Alboshokeh, born in 1986, a native of Khuzestan province, a cultural activist, and a member of the Al-Hiwar Cultural Institute, is serving his prison sentence in Sheiban Central Prison in Ahvaz. He has been denied access to proper medical services. This political prisoner is in his fourteenth year of a life sentence.

A source familiar with the situation reported that Mokhtar Alboshokeh is enduring his fourteenth year in Ahvaz Central Prison while suffering from a hernia, causing significant issues such as testicular pain and cramps. The use of a hernia belt has not alleviated his pain, and according to the prison's medical doctor, surgery is the only treatment option. However, since the prison authorities are not covering the surgery costs, Alboshokeh remains deprived of treatment.

It is noteworthy that Seyed Mokhtar Alboshokeh was arrested by security forces in Khalafabad, Ramshir County, Khuzestan Province, on March 3, 2011. After being transferred to the central detention center of the Khuzestan Intelligence Department and undergoing interrogation, he was severely beaten to extract forced confessions, resulting in severe injuries to his jaw and teeth. He was also subjected to psychological pressure through false news of the death of his family members. He was held in solitary confinement for six months and was transferred to Ward 3 of Karun Prison in Ahvaz in late September 2011.

During the trial proceedings, Seyed Mokhtar Alboshokeh was tried by Judge Mohammad Baqer Mousavi, head of Branch 2 of the Ahvaz Revolutionary Court, and on July 7, 2012, he was sentenced to death on charges of "enmity against God" and "corruption on earth," along with a death sentence for two charges of "propaganda against the Islamic Republic" and "actions against national security." After filing an appeal and awaiting a retrial or a Supreme Court ruling, he was transferred from Karun Prison to the Ahvaz Intelligence Detention Center on August 6, 2012, along with other defendants in his case. Following further interrogations, he was returned to Karun Prison on August 16, 2012.

On January 10, 2013, the initial death sentence against him was upheld. In protest, Seyed Mokhtar Alboshokeh went on a hunger strike for 28 days starting on March 3, 2013. He ended his strike and was transferred to Sheiban Central Prison in Ahvaz following the closure of Karun Prison. He spent several years under the threat of execution until his death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment with a one-degree reduction in 2019, while his five-year discretionary prison sentence remained in place.

During the interrogation stages, this cultural activist was deprived of the right to contact his family or access legal representation, and his family was unaware of his whereabouts for months.
