S. Azerbaijani Political Prisoners Go On Hunger Strike!

A group of Azerbaijani political activists imprisoned in the Greater Tehran Prison will go on a 48-hour dry hunger strike without food or water starting tomorrow morning. This protest is in response to the catastrophic process of drying up Lake Urmia and the government’s indifference to the environmental crisis in Azerbaijan, which is endangering the lives of millions of people.

The names of the political prisoners participating in this strike are as follows:

Taher Naqvi

Azimi Ghadim

Vadod Asadi

Mohammad Reza Faghihi

Morteza Parvin

Naser Amirlo

Alireza Vafaei
