A request from a group of psychiatrists to the head of the judiciary: Review the medical records of Mohammad Ghobadloo
More than 50 psychiatrists have written a letter to Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, the head of Iran’s judiciary, requesting the formation of a council of reputable psychiatrists to review all the medical records and history of Mohammad Ghobadloo, a detained protester sentenced to death on charges of enmity against God.
The signatories of this letter stated that due to the complexity of psychiatric diagnoses, especially cyclical disorders like bipolar disorder, and the differing opinions among doctors regarding Mohammad Ghobadloo’s mental state, they are asking for a more thorough psychiatric evaluation of his condition.
The letter also mentioned that reviewing the medical records, interviewing the patient, his family, and previous doctors can assist the judiciary in reaching a verdict based on scientific principles and clinical evidence that is realistic and fair.
Mohammad Ghobadloo is one of the prisoners accused of deliberately running over a group of police officers and the murder of Officer Farid Karampour.
