A group of women in the infamous Kachoui prison near Tehran in January launched a hunger strike to protest their harsh incarceration and the lack of medical care. The Iranian-American human rights activist, Lawdan Barzargan, who was imprisoned in the 1980’s in the notorious Evin prison in Tehran for her dissident political activity, told The Jerusalem Post:
“In the past 43 years, Iran's brutal Islamic regime and its irregular, unfair, and unjust judiciary system have forced political prisoners to use hunger strikes to protest against tyranny and injustice. The courageous act of these brave women should be a wake-up call for western countries to understand what kind of regime they are dealing with.”
