Kurd political prisoner Rahim Rash who was transferred from the Orumieh RGC Intelligence Prison to Mahabad Prison has still not ended his hunger strike.

One of his sons who had a short visit with him four days ago said that his father was in ‘very critical condition’ and was visited by the prison doctor on that same day.

“The last time, my father continued his hunger strike to the point that doctors said he would die in three days and they were forced to release him. After his release, his health did not return to its normal state for several months”, his son said.

His family has said that their father will not end his hunger strike until they release him and therefore they are extremely concerned for his health.
