6/15 I ask that my case be reviewed and the sentence overturned.
7/15 I find it necessary to let you know that my physical situation has deteriorated as follows:
8/15 Loss of eye sight in the right eye. My left eye vision has become very cloudy. I can only see objects
9/15 by concentrating on the objects & even that is becoming more difficult.

11/15 very weak. I am constantly dizzy & cannot walk without losing my balance. I have constant headaches &
12/15 pain in my eyes. When I am stressed or agitated I totally lose my eye sight. Due to suffering
13/15 from anemia, I have no energy, especially in the mornings when I can barely move my body.
14/15 Considering all of the above, please take immediate action reviewing my case. It should be noted that
15/15 I have been suffering from MS for 7 years. Copy of this also sent to THN Prosecutor Jafari Dolatabadi

1/15 Respectfully, I would like to inform your excellency, I Hamed Rouhinejad, Son of Mohamad Reza,
2/15 with court case No.515/85/88, was tried in court branch 28 & was sentenced to death by this court,
3/15 deny all the charges and call all the accusations against me false. I deny any connection with
4/15 group called "The Monarchist Organization". In fact I had never even heard of this organization before,
5/15 much less belong to it. With objection to the verdict issued for me, & considering my poor health,
6/15 I ask that my case be reviewed and the sentence overturned.
7/15 I find it necessary to let you know that my physical situation has deteriorated as follows:
8/15 Loss of eye sight in the right eye. My left eye vision has become very cloudy. I can only see objects
9/15 by concentrating on the objects & even that is becoming more difficult.
10/15 My right arm & right leg are rapidly losing sensation. My immune & neuroligical system has become
11/15 very weak. I am constantly dizzy & cannot walk without losing my balance. I have constant headaches &
12/15 pain in my eyes. When I am stressed or agitated I totally lose my eye sight. Due to suffering
13/15 from anemia, I have no energy, especially in the mornings when I can barely move my body.
14/15 Considering all of the above, please take immediate action reviewing my case. It should be noted that
15/15 I have been suffering from MS for 7 years. Copy of this also sent to THN Prosecutor Jafari Dolatabadi
