According to the news agency of Jamia Aryaei, quoted by Harana, today, Tuesday, April 3, 1400, Khalid Pirzadeh, a political prisoner in Tehran’s Great Prison, is suffering from physical problems on the eleventh day of his hunger strike.
Khaled Pirzadeh went on a hunger strike again 5 days after the end of his previous hunger strike last month with numerous physical problems including low blood pressure and weight loss. Dizziness and severe physical weakness have been encountered. Despite Mr. Pirzadeh’s unfavorable physical condition and previous promises, the prison authorities are still indifferent to his wishes. Khaled Pirzadeh went on a hunger strike since the morning of Monday, March 4, 2019, in protest against the lack of medical treatment and the authorities’ opposition to his parole request. The head of Ward 9 of the Greater Tehran Prison opposes his conditional release in the circumstances that he was previously included in the list of prisoners eligible for conditional amnesty by the prison authorities. On Wednesday, March 6, 2019, in an open letter, referring to the continuation of the hunger strike, this prisoner announced that he sewed his lips in protest against the non-attendance of his demands. He finally ended his strike on March 18, 2019 after signing the papers related to the request for parole by the prison authorities and their favorable promise to deal with his demands, and on March 23, 2019, he went on strike again after the authorities did not fulfill their promises. ate
