Some of the Iranian dissidents on a hunger strike in Iraq over a security forces operation are close to death, Sky News has been told.
Up to 1,200 people are not eating and they say they are prepared to die to draw world attention to the case of 36 residents from their community who have been held by Iraqi police since the end of July.
No word has been heard about the fate of those arrested.
