He has been on hunger strike ever since 15 April 2014 protesting the threats, summoning, arresting and harassing families of political prisoners, along with exiling the political prisoners. Currently, a number of political prisoners in Tabriz Central Prison also went on hunger strike to support Ayat’s demands. He and 4 other inmates in Tabriz Central Prison were condemned on charges of forming an illegal group and propaganda against the system, each being sentenced to 9 years behind bars.
