According to reports, political prisoner Arjang Davoudi is on his 28^th day of hunger strike and in critical health. He is in danger of death.

He is suffering from low blood pressure which has become more severe over time, a severe decrease of vision, headaches, dizzy spells and his is also unable to move.

On the other hand, interrogators of the Intelligence Agency and heads of Gohardasht Prison have increased pressure on this political prisoner and political prisoners who help him are summoned to the prison’s Department of Intelligence and Investigation where they are threatened that if they continue to help Davoudi, they will be thrown in solitary.

Political prisoner Mansour Radpour is one of the prisoners who was summoned and threatened by Reza Turabi, the head investigator of this prison, and Kermani and Faraji, the head and assistant head of the Intelligence Department. They threatened Mansour Radpour that if he helps Davoudi, he will be transferred to solitary cell in cellblock 1.

Ali Haj Kazem, the head of prison has ordered a ban on medical treatment for Davoudi and it has been a few days that he has not been treated while in critical condition.

This shows that the heads of the prison and intelligence interrogators intent to physically eliminate this political prisoner. Especially since one of his demands is that his complaint against Ali Haj Kazem be dealt with.

Political prisoner Arjang Davoudi who is currently jailed in cellblock 3 known as the Worker’s cell went on a hunger strike on July 14 in protest to prison conditions and inhumane limitations. Davoudi has demanded his minimum rights like ending his visitation and phone call ban to his family, medical treatment for his physical condition, ending the (illegal) confiscation of his home which has made his family homeless and seeing to his complaint against the head of Gohardasht Prison, Ali Haj Kazem.

“They went up to Mrs. Mohammadi’s family who are extremely religious and taped a film of them talking against Sakineh regarding the fact that Sakineh had committed adultery and that she had to be punished… unfortunately Mrs. Mohammadi’s family have put her children under severe pressure that your mother has dishonored the reputation of the family and has to be executed or stoned and this has put severe mental pressure on Mrs. Mohammadi’s children”.

Her lawyer said that he was informed via his other clients in the female cellblock in Tabriz Prison that Sakineh was forced to give a televised interview under the pressure of beatings. (Rooz Website – Aug. 12, 2010)
