On Tuesday, July 27th prisoners in the Special Clerical Ward of
Evin prison went on food strike due to the continued distribution of
contaminated and unsanitary food.
Based on reports from Human
Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), the distributed food contains insects and
vermin. Some of the prisoners who were unaware of the contamination and
consumed the food delivered to them have become extremely ill, suffering from
various digestive and stomach problems for which they were transferred to the
prison infirmary.
The prison officials who were faced with the food strike claimed
that the situation was incidental and by no means purposeful, though it had
occurred repeatedly and the officials did not investigate.
It is important to mention that among the prisoners in that ward
are clerics such as Ayatollah Kazemeini-Boroujerdi who was a part of the group
who participated in the food strike.
