Concern from Amnesty International for Atena Daemi's Health After 31 Days of Hunger Strike

Amnesty International states that after 31 days of hunger strike by Atena Daemi, a human rights activist, in Evin prison, her health is at risk and she must be immediately placed under medical care. According to the organization, Ms. Daemi is imprisoned 'unjustly' and solely due to her human rights activities. Atena Daemi has been on hunger strike since April 8, alongside Hengameh Shahidi, a journalist, and Ismail Abdi, the Secretary-General of the Iranian Teachers' Trade Association, who have also been on hunger strike since last year. Atena Daemi has stated that she is protesting the conviction of her two sisters, Ansieh and Hanieh Daemi, through her hunger strike. 'Amnesty International' points out that Atena's health condition has deteriorated, citing reports from her relatives that she has lost '21 kilograms and is suffering from symptoms such as vomiting, high blood pressure, and severe kidney pain.' The human rights organization reported on May 8 that Ms. Daemi lost consciousness a week ago and was transferred to a hospital outside the prison on Monday; however, after undergoing several tests and before the results were known, she was returned to prison. 'Amnesty International' emphasized that doctors have warned that Atena Daemi's kidney condition is in a dangerous state and that she needs to be hospitalized and treated. The organization also added that prison officials have not provided necessary medical assistance to Ms. Daemi. Iranian officials have yet to respond to Amnesty International's report. Atena Daemi was sentenced to seven years in prison by a court presided over by Judge Moghiseh on charges of 'gathering and colluding and propaganda against the state,' 'insulting sacred values and leadership,' and 'concealing evidence of a crime.' However, international human rights organizations state that the reason for her conviction is 'the publication of posts on Facebook criticizing executions, graffiti against executions, attending the graves of those killed in the 2009 elections, and informing about political prisoners.' In this context, the 'prison sentence' for Atena Daemi and her sisters on charges of 'insulting officials' continues; the ongoing detention of journalists, student activists, civil activists, and Baha'i citizens; the deterioration of Atena Daemi's physical condition due to hunger strike; Hengameh Shahidi, Atena Daemi, and Ismail Abdi on hunger strike; the changing battlefield of 'proxies'; the war against the people in the streets of Iran; the responsibility of opponents and the possibility of radicalization of Iranian society; the death of the last Mossad representative in Tehran amid the Iran crisis; 1300 hours of internet outages; Witkoff: a horrific massacre occurred during the protests in Iran; the shadow of war over Tehran; 'Trump is seeking decisive military options against Iran'; Trump emphasizes 'stopping executions in Iran': we do not know what will happen in the future; Trump says if the Islamic Republic attempts to assassinate him, 'it will be wiped off the face of the earth.'
