 The Iranian regime’s authorities in Gohardash Prison continue to deprive nearly two dozen political prisoners of necessary medical care as their health is deteriorating rapidly in the 5th week of their hunger strike.
The health of these political prisoners who are in Hall 10 of Section 4 of Gohardasht prison has worsened. They have become very weak and are suffering from hypertension.
