Currently, 17 political prisoners are on hunger strike at the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran.

Babak Bordbar, who was one of the 17 hunger strikers, was released from Evin prison after an initial refusal by prison authorities.

16 others are still on hunger strike, insisting that they will not end their protest until their demands have been fully met.

Separately, recent eyewitness reports indicate that the clerical regime’s agents have displayed their rage against slain political activists by pouring acid on at least one of their graves which belongs to Kianoush Asa, a young university student who died under torture during last year’s popular protests. Asa was a student at Science and Industry University.
