isoned Student Pakhshan Azizi on Hunger Strike

HRANA – Student activist Pakhshan Azizi’s mental and physical health has been deteriorating since going on hunger strike a few days ago to protest his uncertain situation in prison.

[Prior to his arrest] Pakhshan Azizi was a social work major at Azad University of Tehran. He was arrested on November 16, 2009 for participating in a gathering to protest Ehsan Fattahian’s execution at the University of Tehran.

With three months and ten days gone by since his arrest, Pakhshan Azizi still sits in prison under “temporary arrest.”
