Ehsan Mazandarani, a jailed journalist, was transferred to a hospital early Monday due to cardiac arrest and physical issues from the medical unit of Evin Prison. Mazandarani, who has been on a hunger strike for 35 days in protest against prison conditions and the handling of his case, is reportedly still continuing his hunger strike, according to his acquaintances. Last week, doctors warned that if the hunger strike continued, there was a 'risk of heart attack and going into a coma.' Seventy-six journalists expressed great concern over the 'harassment of journalists in Iran' and highlighted the severe consequences of the hunger strikes of Mazandarani and Mohammad Sadiq Kabudvand, two imprisoned journalists, calling for the immediate release of their colleagues. Sam Hosseini, the brother-in-law of Ehsan Mazandarani, stated in an interview with Hossein Qoyimi that he was transferred to Sina Hospital after the cardiac arrest and is currently in the intensive care unit.
