The Kurdish political prisoners are facing the most dreadful situations in the Iranian prisons. Responding to such brutal condition they launched a hunger strike.
80 Kurdish political prisoners held in Rajaee-shahr prison of Karaj city have announced that they will continue their strike for 3 days starting from 4th October.
Name of some of these prisoners are as follows:
Remezan Seydi, Hadi Emini, Enwer Xizri, Kamran Shexe, Fowad Rezazade, Ebrahim Qaderifer, Xusrew Besharet, Qasim Awesta, Dawud Abdullahi, Cefer Ceferi, Hejar Elizade and Mesud Resuli.
These prisoners have claimed that they are accommodated with the most dangerous criminal prisoners such as murderers, drug dealers, and people with very serious illnesses.
They are not provided with a sleeping place in the prison and every day facing with interviews and fearsome tortures. In addition, they are confronted with insolence both to themselves and their families.
One of the most dreadful prisons in Iran is Rajaee-shahr Prison in Karaj city and most Kurdish political prisoners are sent to there.
This prison contains gangs that are distributing drugs among prisoners; also with the advice of prison officers they are forcing political prisoners to use drugs or the political prisoners are injected forcibly.
This situation has caused many prisoners to commit suicide when they are released from prison.
