ICHRI:

Nearly a month into their hunger strike inside the Orumiyeh Central Prison to protest dangerous and inhumane prison conditions, 27 Kurdish political prisoners have been summoned and threatened with new judicial cases if they don’t cease their hunger strike, a source told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.

Beginning on November 20, 2014, 30 political prisoners inside Orumiyeh Central Prison’s Ward 12 embarked on a hunger strike to protest severely overcrowded prison conditions and the prison’s refusal to separate categories of prisoners, which has resulted in the incarceration of these political prisoners alongside violent criminals.
