Breathing in Confinement – Intelligence Ministry interrogators in Uremia prison threatened Mohammad Abdullahi, political prisoner that his death sentence will be implemented if he does not end his hunger strike.

According to the report of “Breathing in Confinement”, on 15th December, Mohammad Abdullahi who has been 26 days on hunger strike along with other political prisoners in the prison of Uremia so far was summoned to the office of Intelligence Ministry in the prison and interrogated.

In this regard, an informed source told “Breathing in Confinement’s” reporter, “The interrogators asked him about matters inside the ward and finally, threatened him that, if he does not stop hunger strike, they will accelerate his execution sentence.”

Mohammad Abdullahi, was arrested in spring of 2010 by the IRGC forces in Mahabad and was kept, tortured and interrogated for 3 months in solitary confinement and then he was sentenced to death on charge of combat against the regime by supporting one of the Kurdish parties. Revolutionary Guards’ Intelligence agents broke his hand, leg and teeth during the interrogation time by torturing him.

On the other hand, Osman Mostafapour and Khezer Rasoul Morovat were transferred to the prison infirmary due to serious physical conditions. These two political prisoners, despite their health deterioration, refused to get IV fluid.

Khezer Rasoul Morovat, a student of national University in Uremia and graduate student of Farsi literature was arrested at the end of 2011 and then sentenced to 5 years in prison.

According to one of the inmates, Alavi, manager of the prison, has told one of the prisoners: “We do not care at all; they can stay on hunger strike until they die here.”

That is to say, heretofore Ali Afshari and Saman Nasim have been threatened by the prison officials as well that their death sentences will be carried out if they do not end their hunger strike.

Indeed, 24 prisoners from ward 12 of Uremia prison are now on hunger strike. These prisoners have gone on hunger strike since 20 November to protest against the “dissolution of political prisoners’ ward” and “pressures from the Ministry of Intelligence on prisoners and their families.”
