One of Rahim Reshi’s sons has been able to arrange a short visit with his father. He described his father’s condition as critical and stated that the Prison doctor had to visit Reshi on the same day.

According to the Committee of Human Rights Reporters, his son stated that his father had previously continued his hunger strike until he was released and his health did not improve until months after his release.

Reshi’s family stated that that since “we know our father, we are sure that he will continue his hunger strike until he is released and we are extremely concerned as to his condition.”

Civil Rights activist Rahim Reshi has been detained since July 19^th. He went on hunger strike a day after his arrest. He was transferred to the IRGC intelligence section of Oroumiyeh Prison 4 days after his detainment and was held in the prison until 4 days ago.
