Nasrin Sotoudeh on Dry Hunger Strike

Feminist school :Reza Khandan, Nasrin Sotoodeh’s husband, in an interview said that on Wednesday November 3rd, Nasrin Sotooden called home and informed him that she had received permission to have visitors and expressed her wish to visit her children and her sister. However when, on Thursday November 4th, they went to Evin prison, only her two children, 10 and 3 years old, her mother in law, and her sister were allowed to visit her. Reza Khandan, her husband, was denied a visit.

Mr. Khandan said that when, after one hour, his mother, Nastrine’s sister returned, they were extremely upset and agitated. They told him that the children had cried throughout the meeting. They were, indeed, disturbed by seeing that their mother’s face had turned much darker. According to Guiti Sotoodeh, since Monday Nov. 1, Nasrine Sotoodeh has resumed her hunger strike, a dry hunger strike this time, to protest the intolerable conditions of prison and the improper investigation of her case.

Ms. Sotoodeh told her sister, when they met for the first time in prison, that she had ended her hunger strike because they had promised to change her living conditions in prison and properly investigate her case, but she would resume it again if nothing changes. Ms. Sotoodeh has been on hunger strike for the first time since August 23 for twenty-seven days.
