News Center- On January 14, seven political prisoners held in Iran’s Yasuj Central Prison launched a hunger strike to protest their unjust prison sentences after their sentences were confirmed by the Supreme Court.

The names of the political prisoners, who have been on the hunger strike since January 14 are: Yasir Fereydouni, Kianoush Mahdoever, Alireza Forouhar, Benjamin Evra, Mahmoud Turnak, Saeed Farhadi and Saeed Seyadat.

After being arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces, they were subjected to torture in custody. The demand of the political prisoners is a fair trial.
