Hunger Strike by Female Political Prisoners in Iran Protests Execution of Fellow Prisoner
A hunger strike has been initiated by dozens of female political prisoners in Iran to protest the recent execution of a fellow inmate. Mohamed Hobadlo, who allegedly killed a police officer and injured five others during anti-government protests in 2022, was hanged on Tuesday. However, Hobadlo's family claims that he had a mental health condition, and his lawyer argues that his final appeal had not been decided before his execution.
