However, the hunger strike of several other political and ideological prisoners continues, and their families report on the dire physical condition of these individuals. Ali Shariati, Arash Sadeghi, Saeed Shirzad, Nizar Zaka, and Mohammad Ali Taheri have stated that they will continue their hunger strike until their demands are addressed. Tahereh Ebrahimi Iraei, the mother of Arash Sadeghi's wife, told Radio Farda: 'Arash is in very bad shape; he is taken to the hospital every night and is spitting blood. He has become so weak that he can't even call me. His condition is dangerous and he is severely harmed; he can't stand, open his eyes, or speak. Today, I saw a photo of him on social media next to Bobby Sands, which said Arash has been on hunger strike for 68 days and Bobby Sands died after 66 days. I don't know what will happen; perhaps it will be too late at any moment.'
