Kurdish teacher Mohammadamin Agoshi, 53, began his hunger strike in Zahadan Central Prison on June 30, 2013 after authorities turned down his request for furlough or conditional release.
According to a report by Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), Agoshi’s condition is alarming because of his old age. Also, extreme summer heat in Zahadan has been a contributing factor for his deterioration. “He hasn’t had any contact with anyone outside the prison since the hunger strike began,” Agoshi’s daughter said. “One of his cell-mates called to tell us the news. But Father had already said that he was planning to go on hunger strike if they don’t grant him conditional release or pardon.”
