Very Concerning Conditions of Seven Protesters Imprisoned in Shiban Prison, Ahvaz, After Hunger Strike

A member of the families of the victims has described the conditions of seven protesters imprisoned in Shiban Prison, Ahvaz, as 'very concerning' after a week of hunger strike. Foad Chubin, the uncle of Artin Rahmani, a protester killed during the nationwide protests of 2021, mentioned the names of these seven individuals on July 18 on his 'X' page: Rouhollah Khosravi, Ramin Mohammadi, Ashkan Mohammadi, Farshid Kazemi, Maziar Nakoui, Reza Karimnejad, and Houman Almasi. According to Foad Chubin, these prisoners have been on a dry hunger strike for seven days in protest against their uncertainty. Earlier, the Iran Human Rights Association reported that Rouhollah Khosravi, from Izeh, has been subjected to torture and continuous interrogations during his detention and has been deprived of access to a chosen lawyer. Human rights sources have reported that several detainees from the 2021 protests continue to remain in uncertainty despite more than a year passing. The human rights organization 'Hangaw' recently reported on the uncertainty of two detainees from the 'Women, Life, Freedom' protests, Reza Arabpour and Houman Seydali, in Shiban Prison, Ahvaz. In the latest report from 'Freedom House', the Iranian government has been identified as one of the violators of freedom in the past year, and Iran continues to be recognized as a 'non-free' country in terms of freedom index. Javid Rahman, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, has also described the human rights situation in Iran as a 'bitter reality' and urged the international community not to remain silent in the face of widespread human rights violations in Iran.
