Saeed Pour-Heydari was transferred to a hospital after
his health deteriorated following a hunger strike in Rajaie Shahr Prison.
This political prisoner, born in 1981, has been on hunger
strike since Saturday, April 25 protesting inhumane conditions and transfer to
a ward of ordinary and dangerous inmates. Pour-Heydar was arrested during
protests following the controversial 2009 elections. He left the country after
his release, spending time in Turkey and the United States. He returned to Iran
in February 2015, leading to his temporary detention and transfer to prison.
