Iranian Political Prisoner Goes on Hunger Strike To Protest Denial of Health Care



Prisoner of conscience Hossein Ronaghi Maleki has been on a wet hunger strike since March 26, 2016 to protest being denied medical care for his kidney disease, according to his mother, Zoleikha Mousavi.
“We had a face-to-face meeting with Hossein in Evin Prison on March 27. He told us that he had started a hunger strike and would not stop until they pay attention to his condition,” Mousavi told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran. I’m tired of seeing my son go on hunger strike several times a year to get medical treatment. I want him free.”
