measures necessary to ensure that sanctions do not undermine human rights,

Conditions of detention
70.
The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government, the judiciary and
the parliament, as appropriate:
(a)
Ensure that medical care is urgently provided to those individuals in
detention who need it, in light of the imminent threat to life or serious deterioration of
their health, and that all individuals in custody receive adequate, prompt and regular
health care, including specialist care as needed, on the basis of their informed consent;
(b)
Ensure that all detained individuals receive adequate health care,
without discrimination on grounds of political or legal situation, ethnicity, religion,
political opinion, gender, sexual orientation or other status;
(c)
Ensure that all prisoners requiring specialist or any other treatment not
available within prison are transferred free of cost to specialized institutions or
outside hospitals to receive such treatment and that they remain in those institutions
or hospitals for as long as the treatment is deemed necessary by specialist doctors;
(d)
End the unlawful practice of requiring prisoners to pay for medical
treatment, which violates both international and Iranian law;
(e)
Ensure that medical decisions that relate to ongoing care and
observation of the prisoners outside prison and the necessity of their release on
medical grounds are only taken by the relevant, responsible health-care professionals;
(f)
Adopt regulations restricting the use of restraints in accordance with
international laws and standards, including by ensuring that restraints are never used
in a degrading, humiliating or painful manner or as a form of punishment and that
they are used only when strictly necessary;
(g)
Ensure that medical care for detainees is never made conditional upon
their making confessions and that officials who deny medical care to prisoners and
detainees or who withhold medication as a form of coercion, as punishment or to elicit
confessions are punished;
(h)
Pass the parliamentary bill introduced in September 2019 aimed at
ending the recording and broadcasting of confessions on State-funded media prior to
trial and ensure punishments for those involved in recording and broadcasting such
confessions;

Pending its abolishment, ensure that solitary confinement is used only in
exceptional cases, as a last resort and for as short a time as possible, following
authorization by a competent authority and subject to independent review;

Make substantial investments in all prisons to reduce overcrowding,
provide adequate sleeping facilities to prisoners and ensure that the essential personal
hygiene of prisoners is maintained;
