VIENNA The daughter of a 74-year-old Austrian citizen imprisoned in Iran has told of her fears for her father’s health after he started displaying coronavirus symptoms.
“He started suffering from fever last Thursday, but he doesn’t get the medical attention he needs, and he was denied a Covid test,” Fanak Mani, daughter of Massud Mossaheb, told AFP Tuesday of her father’s treatment in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison.
Mossaheb was detained while traveling in Iran with a delegation from an Austrian research center in January 2019 and in August it was announced that he had been jailed for 10 years on charges of spying for Israel and Germany.

Outgoing Acting Israel Police Commissioner Motti Cohen announces that he will quit the organization following the nomination of Yaakov Shabtai as permanent police chief, and accuses decision-makers of “ulterior motives” in the failure to appoint his replacement until now.
Cohen, who has served in his interim position for two years during an extended political crisis, makes the announcement in a letter sent to fellow officers and commanders.
He also writes that he has lately faced “attempts to intervene in the work of the Israel Police, intervention that has no place in the organization and which I didn’t allow.”
