Iranian political prisoners on hunger strike have been beaten!

Life and death situation for at least one of the 39 political prisoners on hunger strike in Iran which started on April 7, 2007

On April 22, 2007, political prisoner Mr. Khalid Hardani was carried to the medical center of Rajai Shahar prison by two of his inmates Mr. Nasser Khirolahi & Shahin Aryanejad, due to Mr. Khaled Hardani, heart conditioning. Mr. Khaled Hardani who has been transferred sometimes ago from Evin Prison to Rajia Shahar, his heart medication has been denied. His physical well being is worsening day after day.

The hunger strike is a way for the political prisoners who have absolutely no way to let people around the world to know their conditions, to let them know that due to lack of attention from UN Representatives and Amnesty, Mr. Khaled Hardani another 38 other political prisoners from all number of prisons could possibly die.

In the clinic, Mr. Khaled Hardani was not allowed to see a physician and when they refused to end the strike, they were savagely beaten inside the clinic, in full view of medical staff, by professional torture master Aslan Beghi. Neither man received any medical care, neither for the hunger strike's physical effects, nor for the effects of physical torture. They were, instead, dragged back to their filthy cells to recover on their own from the savage beatings.

Mr. Hardani, whose cardiac condition requires medication, has received no medication for his heart condition from prison medical officials since his transfer from Evin nearly 2 months ago.

Repeated letters and calls to officials of Amnesty International by Ghazal Omid (www.ghazalomid.com), Iranian dissident and the official spokesperson for 19 of the 39 political prisoners, have not been returned. UN Human Rights Commission member states have also not responded to repeated calls for intervention.
