Subsequently, on October 17, the mullahs’ judiciary sentenced Ms. Akbari to one year in prison. In protest, she went on a hunger strike on October 21 and has refused to meet her family. Ms. Akbari has vowed to continue her strike until her unconditional release.
Ms. Akbari was arrested again in 2019. She suffers from various illnesses such as high blood pressure and lumbar disc herniation, which will further deteriorate in captivity.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations Secretary-General, the UN High Commissioner, the UN Human Rights Council, and relevant UN bodies and rapporteurs, as well as the human rights organizations, to take action to secure the release of political prisoners subjected to ill-treatment, torture, and execution.
