HRANA News Agency – The pressure on political prisoners in central prison of Urmia (Darya) has increased and officials have not kept their promise which they gave to prisoners in order to end their hunger strike.
According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency in Iran (HRANA), the officials promised political prisoners in Central Prison of Urmia that if they would end their hunger strike then they would accept prisoners’ demands such as respecting the principle of crime based separation, etc. but they did not keep any of their promises.
One of the prisoners in this prison told HRANA’s reporter, “Recently some devices have been installed in political prisoners’ ward which spread parasites on this section and are extremely harmful to health.”
He added, “The officials told us that they would respect the principle of crime based separation, which is our legal right, and they would allocate Hall 12 of this prison to political prisoners, if we would end our hunger strike. But they did not keep their promises and did not transfer political prisoners who were out of ward 12 to this ward. Also, they did not transfer prisoners with drug related crimes who were in political prisoners’ ward to another ward. Prison officials do not even send new political prisoners to the political prisoners’ ward and in fact they have increased their pressure, after the hunger strike.”
That is to say, political prisoners of Hall 12, in Urmia prison, on Thursday November 2o to Tuesday 23 December 2014, went on hunger strike to protest against the lack of wards separation based on kind of crimes and against the suppuration on prisoners with definitive conviction by the Intelligence office.  The hunger strike ended with officials’ promises.
