Amir Amirgholi Iranian political prisoner in poor health after 13 days of hunger strike in notorious Evin Prison.

Amir Amirgholi Iranian political prisoner has been on hunger strike for the past 13 days in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison .
According to the reports, his health is in poor condition. He is suffering from physical weakness and a severe drop in his blood pressure.
The fundamentalist regime’s courts have sentenced him to 21 years of imprisonment under the bogus charge of 'insulting the holy sanctities,' 'insulting the Supreme Leader,' 'gathering and colluding to act against national security,' 'disturbing public order by participating in illegal gatherings' and 'propaganda against the regime.'

Mr. Amirgholi has gone on hunger strike in protest to being held in the dangerous prisoners’ ward instead of the ward for political prisoners.
Mr. Amirgholi, an advocate of children’s rights, was arrested by the notorious Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) on December 1, 2014 over his support for the people of Kobani, northern Syria. He was tried before a ruthless hangman-'judge' in Branch 15 of the so-called Islamic Revolutionary Court.
Earlier, Mr. Amirgholi’s father had warned about his son’s condition in Evin Prison. He had stated that: 'Ward 8 of Evin Prison has the poorest amenities. In addition, due to [medical] problems in the pancreas area, he (Amir) has to be under constant medical supervision and his blood sugar must constantly be tested but unfortunately, during his one-and-a-half year imprisonment, he has not gone under medical testing or any treatment. We are concerned about him'.
Mr. Amirgholi was previously arrested and expelled from university because of his student activism in 2008. He is now serving his 17th month behind bars in Ward 8 of Evin Prison.
