Three other Kurdish political prisoners Enwer Xizri, Kamran Shexi and Seyd Ibrahim Seydi are entering their 30th day of hunger strike in Rejaishahir prison of Karaj city.
These prisoners of conscious had been held in compartment number 350 in Ewin House of Detention in Tehran. But they were transferred to Rejaishahir prison and accommodated along with the criminal prisoners.
