Shakila Monfared has gone on a hunger strike
Mohammad Moghimi, a lawyer, reported on his Twitter that his client, Shakila Monfared, has been on a hunger strike for five days in Qarchak Prison.
Her blood pressure has dropped to 6, and she is refusing to receive intravenous fluids.
According to Moghimi, prison officials are refusing to transfer Shakila Monfared to the infirmary.
Shakila Monfared, a civil activist, was arrested in September 2020 and was exiled from Evin Prison to Qarchak Varamin Prison in May 2021. She has been sentenced to four years and two months in prison on charges of propaganda against the regime and insulting sanctities.
In an audio file released last February, Shakila Monfared stated that she does not feel safe in Qarchak Varamin Prison and accused prison officials of colluding with inmates she described as dangerous and hired.
She said that she has been threatened with murder by several individuals in this prison and has informed the prison officials about it, but they have taken no action regarding this matter.
