The lawyers of Kurdish political prisoner, Ramin Hussein Panahi, whose death penalty is imminent, released a statement on Monday, saying he is on hunger strike while his health condition is critical.

 

The political prisoner on death row in Iran is, according to the statement, on hunger strike in protest to “his illegal and unfair court sentence”, “the immediate cut of any kind of connection between the prisoner and his family or his lawyers, and also to “the lack of a fair and equal rights and services comparing to other prisoners inside the prison.”

 

The three lawyers have also warned on imminent execution of Panahi since he was illegally moved to Rajai Shahr prison in Karaj.

 

“Ramin was wounded while transferring to individual cell last night and reportedly he is in hospital now due to his critical health condition,” read the statement. “The news made his family extremely worried, “it added.  

 
Ramin Hossein Panahi has been sentenced to death for “taking up arms against the sate” after speedy and unfair trial. He was reportedly forced to convince his link to the Kurdish political party, Komala, under harsh torture.
