Detained civilians Sajjad Moradivandan, Saman Moradivandan, Peyman Yasmi, and Amir Hossein Namdarpour went on a hunger strike on 24 February, protesting against the state of uncertainty regarding their situation and harsh detention conditions in Ilam Central Prison, in western Iran.
So far, prison authorities have ignored the demands of these detained civilians, the Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN) has learned.
