Shoja, who was arrested last week, began a hunger strike to protest
against the arbitrary arrests on November 24, 2015. The 32-year-old
activist is asking Iranian authorities to release the detainees, who
were arrested on November 21 and taken to Gharchak prison, his relatives said.
Mr.
Shoja was arrested along with seven activists by Iranian security
forces in Vanak Square on November 23, 2015; officials have reportedly
taken them to Evin. Previously, he had been allegedly detained by Cyber
Police (FATA) in Taleghani Avenue of Tehran on September 3, 2014, and
his case was referred to Evin Court, the rights groups declared.
The
court accused him then of the vague charges of “acting against national
security”, “propaganda against the regime of Iran” and “disturbing
public orders”, according to the news. He was finally released on bail
after a few months.
