- Morteza Moradpour can no longer walk after 59 days of hunger strike. He is suffering from serious liver and kidney illnesses. He has fainted many times during the past few days and may suffer a heart attack, go into a coma or even lose his life at any moment. He launched his hunger strike protesting being deprived of a fair judicial process in the mullahs’ so-called “courts.”

The Iranian Resistance warns of political prisoners currently facing death following long hunger strikes, and calls on all international human rights organizations, especially the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights; the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; and the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention to take urgent and effective action to save their lives. The inhumane mullahs’ regime is depriving these prisoners of their most basic rights, recognized even under the regime’s own laws.
- Amongst the inmates held in ward 8 of Tehran’s Evin Prison Arash Sadeghi is currently in critical condition following a 60-day hunger strike. He has lost 19 kilograms of his weight and suffering from severe physical fatigue, abnormal heart rate, chronic breathing, and kidney and intestinal problems. He was transferred to Evin’s clinic on Wednesday morning, yet returned to the ward due to dire conditions and refusing to receive any serum.
