In protest to the lack of medical treatment in the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran, political prisoner Rasoul Hardani has gone on hunger strike since Monday Nov. 24th. He has also threatened to sew his lips, if his demands are not met.
In reaction to his hunger strike and in order to separate him from other political prisoners to prevent any solidarity amongst them and possible spread of protest inside the prison, the prison authorities transferred him out of the political prisoners’ ward and in to the correctional ward.
Rasoul Hardani was arrested with his brother Khalid back in 2000 and spend 7 years’ incarceration, but was released in 2007. He was again arrested in 2009 during a 'Feast of Fire' demonstration and has been in the prison since.
