Karim Moussazadeh, 33, is a Kurdish political prisoner sent to Bandar Abbas on exile and he has gone on a hunger strike since August 9 to protest the conditions in exile and the anti-human actions of the torturers, including deprivation of medical care. The unbearable heat in Bandar Abbas, especially in this deadly location of exile, has aggravated the pressures on this prisoner.
Meanwhile, three political prisoners by the names of Khaled Hardani and Farhang and Shahram Pour-Mansouri who since August 30 have staged a hunger strike are suffering from feebleness, hypotension and headaches. They are protesting intolerable pressures imposed on them by the prison torturers. On August 30, Bahraini, head of the Intelligence Ministry in Gohardasht Prison and one of the most vicious elements of regime’s intelligence, intended to deceive these three prisoners and transfer them to an unknown location, but with the solidarity from their cellmates, they refused to go.
Khaled Hardani suffers from acute digestive problem and due to being denied medical care for a long time his condition has deteriorated. Presently, the interrogators of the intelligence ministry intend to transfer him to an unknown location to increase the pressures on him.
Since August 31, Mr. Farshid Yadollahi, the imprisoned lawyer of Gonabadi dervishes who is in Evin Prison, has gone on hunger strike to protest the fact that he is being constantly moved around and also the intensified pressures against the imprisoned dervishes. Messrs. Hamidreza Moradi and Afshin Karampour, two imprisoned dervishes, have gone on a hunger strike since September 4 in solidarity with Mr. Yadollahi.
