Narges Mohammadi started a hunger strike on Monday, November 6th, 2023, to protest the Evin prison officials’ decision to reject sending her to the hospital.
According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, Narges Mohammadi, a political prisoner imprisoned in Evin prison, went on hunger strike to protest the lack of consideration for her demands.
The family of Narges Mohammadi, a human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner who is imprisoned in Evin prison, announced her hunger strike by publishing an article on Instagram and wrote: After a week of Narges’s pursuits from prison’s authorities and her lawyer from the judicial authorities, the prosecutor opposes sending her to hospital until now. According to the diagnosis and echo of the trusted doctor of the prison’s organization, Narges should be sent to the heart and lung center for an emergency since week ago.
Narges protests two things with her hunger strike:
1-The policy of the Islamic Republic for delaying and not treating the condition of sick prisoners and the loss of health and human life.
2-The policy of death or compulsory hijab for Iranian women.
We are worried about the Narges Mohammadi’s health and physical condition.
