Jailed child rights activist Atena Faraghdani went on hunger strike for three days protesting “bogus allegations” raised against her by security agents.
The mother of this prisoner said her daughter was charged on Saturday, September 12, of having “illegitimate relations” with her lawyer, Mohammad Moghimi for shaking his hand in prison. Even the lawyer has been arrested and transferred to Rajaie Shahr Prison in Karaj, west of Tehran. This arrest raised numerous protests from various lawyers.
She was already sentenced by a so-called Islamic court to 12 years and 9 months behind bars on charges of “propaganda against the state, measures against national security, insulting members of parliament through drawings, and insulting Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).” Faraghdani was arrested on August 23, 2014 by the IRGC and spent nearly two months in Ward 2A of Evin Prison that is under IRGC supervision.
