His health is deteriorating and his life is at risk. Moradpour is an imprisoned Azeri political rights activist who has lost 44 pounds since the hunger strike began and whose kidneys are in very bad shape. Saeed Shirzad, a member of the Society for the Defense of Child Laborers, has also been on hunger strike since December 7 in order to protest against the arrest of prisoner families, the regime preventing the hospitalization of sick prisoners, the beating of prisoners, the forced transfer of prisoners and the lack of fresh air.

Meanwhile, as Iranian political prisoners continue to strike, filmmaker Keywan Karimi, who was given 223 lashes three weeks ago, was recently transferred to Evin Prison. “Keywan is still being held in the quarantine ward where he is not allowed prison visits…He is deprived of a bed and access to the prison yard, library, or sports,” says a relative. Keywan Karimi was initially sentenced to six years and 223 lashes on the charges of “Propaganda against the system” and “Insulting Islamic sanctities“ for his documentary Neveshtan Rooye Shahr (Writing on the City) about graffiti in the streets of Tehran. In an appeals court hearing, his prison sentence was reduced to one year and five years of suspended imprisonment. He is joined by history student Mohadeseh Ghasemi, who was arrested for her activities on Cyrus the Great Anniversary Day.
Recently, 24 Bahai citizens of Iran were acquitted of the charge that they had relations with the “hostile state of Israel” but Taheri noted that they are still imprisoned for “membership in a group disturbing national security” and “propaganda against the system” 23 of them were sentenced to a total of 48 years in prison. Tina Moohebati, who was under 18 at the time of her arrest and sentenced to 9 years in prison, did not receive an appeal. The Bahais were acquitted after they testified that their communication with the Bahai Faith Universal House of Justice in Haifa was solely related to questions about their faith and they stressed that it does not equate to having relations with Israel. At least 32 Bahais have been detained in Iran since 2012. They have been subjected to physical and psychological torture.
32 female political prisoners remain imprisoned in Evin while Iran continues to serve on the UN Women’s Rights Board. These prisoners include 17 mothers with 13 of them being more than 50 years old. 14 of them suffer from chronic illnesses. According to interviews conducted by HRANA, the 32 female prisoners are served a daily ration that is meant for 25 people, suffer from insufficient medical treatment, and are held without electricity or running water for over two hours.
