The family of 46-year-old Naser Navard Goltapeh, a Christian convert from Islam imprisoned in Iran, fear that a severe gum infection will cause him further health problems it was reported in mid-April.

A family member told local sources: ‘If he does not receive immediate medical attention we are afraid he might lose all of his teeth’.

Naser was kept in solitary confinement for two months, while undergoing a gruelling interrogation. After sentencing, he was sent to the notorious Evin prison to serve a ten-year sentence on 20 January 2018.
