On the 23rd day of her hunger strike, political prisoner Atena Daemi announced her determination to continue her protest until her demands are met.
In part of a letter from prison, she wrote, “There has been no reaction from the authorities in the 23 days that I have been on hunger strike. However, I am going to continue my strike despite my dire physical conditions.”
Atena Daemi began her hunger strike on April 8, 2017, in protest to the unjust prison sentences issued for her sisters.
