Continued Hunger Strike of Ahmadreza Jalali on the Fifth Consecutive Day

News sources reported the continuation of Ahmadreza Jalali's hunger strike, a dual-nationality physician imprisoned in Iran. Vida Mehraniyya, Ahmadreza Jalali's wife, announced on Tuesday, July 5, on the first day of the hunger strike that her husband believes the only way the world can hear his voice is through a hunger strike. The Human Rights Defenders Center wrote: 'As Ahmadreza Jalali enters the fifth day of his hunger strike, he is in a worrying physical condition due to the injuries from previous strikes. In such conditions, every moment threatens his life.' Jalali's wife had previously written on her account on the X network that Ahmadreza Jalali has endured nearly three thousand days of 'unimaginable torment' in the 'horrific Evin prison,' and despite knowing that, given his fragile health, a hunger strike could be fatal, he has no other option. Ahmadreza Jalali, an Iranian-Swedish physician, traveled to Tehran in the spring of 2016 at the invitation of the University of Tehran for a lecture and was arrested. Iranian judicial authorities sentenced Ahmadreza Jalali to death on charges of 'espionage.' Jalali and his wife have repeatedly denied these accusations. This dual-nationality prisoner had previously gone on hunger strike in protest against the court's ruling and the risk of execution. Recently, Ahmadreza Jalali criticized Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in an audio message for being left behind during the prisoner exchange in Iran. He pointed out the release of Johan Flodros, a Swedish citizen, and Saeed Azizi, a dual-national Iranian-Swedish citizen, who were exchanged with Hamid Nouri, emphasizing: 'I think my remaining in Iran is a clear discrimination.' Hamid Nouri, a former deputy warden of Gohardasht prison, was sentenced to life imprisonment, the highest penalty under Swedish law, for his involvement in the execution of thousands of political prisoners in the 1980s. The release of Hamid Nouri and his return to Iran sparked a wave of protests and public outrage among Iranians and widespread reactions from political and human rights figures. Ahmadreza Jalali's hunger strike, a dual-nationality prisoner in Evin, has entered its fourth day. Siamak Namazi: Leaving Ahmadreza Jalali to his fate in Iran is 'against conscience.' Ahmadreza Jalali, a dual-nationality prisoner at risk of execution in Evin, is on a hunger strike. A former hostage of the Islamic Republic protested to the Swedish government: Ignoring Ahmadreza Jalali in the exchange of Hamid Nouri was a 'deep deception.' Amnesty International: The 'shocking' release of Hamid Nouri was a 'stunning' blow to the survivors and relatives of the victims of the 1988 massacre. Ahmadreza Jalali told the Swedish Prime Minister after the exchange of Hamid Nouri: You left me with the risk of execution in Evin.
