Iran: Lives of political prisoners on hunger strike are in danger

Six Sunni Kurdish political prisoners on hunger strike in Ghezelhesar prison are in critical condition as they have eaten food for more than 60 days.
Two of these prisoners, HamedAhmadi and JamshidDehghanihave faced bleeding in kidney due to long-term hunger strike and two others, Jahangir Dehghani and Kamal Mallai are facing blurred vision, convulsion, vomiting, dizziness and pain in the kidneys.

The doctors have said that they will face death continuing with their hunger strike.

The six Sunni political prisoners went on hunger strike from November 4 and are still demanding a revised trial in public and their return to their previous prison ward in Rajaii-Shahr prison in Karaj.

Despite requests from human rights organizations to break their strike, the political prisoners emphasized on its continuation as the only means to make their voices heard.
