The medical commission refused to grant medical leave and treatment outside the prison for Siavash Hayati, the spokesman of the Consultative Assembly of Civil Activists of Yarsan and the secretary of the United Kurdish Front, despite having multiple illnesses.

According to an informed source of Kurdpa, the medical commission justified that the spokesman of the Consultative Assembly of Civil Activists of Yarsan could tolerate imprisonment and did not agree with his medical leave and treatment outside the prison.

The informed source added: that Mr. Hayati returned to Diesel Abad prison in Kermanshah on December 1, after the medical commission rejected his request for medical leave.

On November 9, Siavash Hayati was sent on leave from Diesel Abad prison in Kermanshah and his leave was extended until December 1.

The spokesman of the Consultative Assembly of Civil Activists of Yarsan suffers from liver, lung, prostate, and high blood pressure diseases and his medical leave had not been agreed for the past six months.

On May 13, Siavash Hayati was transferred to Diesel Abad prison in Kermanshah after being summoned to the first branch of the criminal enforcement court of the public and revolutionary court of Islam Abad Gharb to serve his prison sentence.

Another charge against Mr. Hayati was "inciting people to slaughter and war to disrupt the country's security", which the court acquitted him of due to the lack of evidentiary evidence to convince the conscience and also considering the principle of innocence based on Article 37 of the Constitution and Article 4 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Also, Branch One of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office of Sahneh district referred the case of the spokesman of the Consultative Assembly of Civil Activists of Yarsan and the secretary of the United Kurdish Front to the charges of "assembly and collusion to disrupt internal security and propaganda activities against the Islamic Republic of Iran" to the Public and Revolutionary Court of Tehran for trial.
