After 22 days in solitary confinement, 12 of the political prisoners formerly on hunger strike were transferred back to ward 350 (the general ward) in Evin prison. Abdollah Momeni, Bahman Ahmadi Amouie, and Keyvan Samimi remain in solitary confinement. Samimi is still on hunger strike after 23 days.
The Kaleme website reports that the 12 prisoners have lost weight and are physically weak. They have also not been able to meet with their families.
The transferred prisoners expressed grave concern over the physical well being of Keyvan Samimi. They stated that Samimi will break his hunger strike once Abdollah Momeni and Bahman Ahmadi Amouie are also transferred to the general ward.
Student activist Majid Tavakoli who was one of the prisoners on hunger strike was recently transferred from Evin to Rajai Shahr prison. Long time political prisoner Reza Malek remains in a solitary confinement cell in ward 350.
