THREAD: 1) Today Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe & Narges Mohammadi began a hunger strike in #Iran's Evin Prison for access to medical care. They announced it in an open letter last week, giving the authorities ample time to respond: iranhumanrights.org/2019/01/open-l… #FreeNazanin #FreeNarges
2) Iran's authorities punished them by cancelling Nazanin's phone calls with her husband and Narges' phone calls with her children, limiting Nazanin's food rations, and limiting call times for everyone in the Women's Ward of Evin Prison independent.co.uk/news/world/mid…
3) In a selfless act of solidarity, two fellow political prisoners, prominent defense attorney Nasrin Sotoudeh and Baha'i faith member Azita Rafizadeh also refused their calls iranhumanrights.org/2019/01/nasrin…
Speaking at a news conference, Nazanin's husband set out his wife's demands - to be able to see an external doctor and to be given an agreement in writing that she will be allowed access to any medical treatment the doctor recommends. bbc.com/news/uk-468590…
4) A hunger strike could cause serious health problems or death iranhumanrights.org/2018/12/politi… & prisoners in Iran only undertake them as a last resort. Nazanin & Narges are starving to get access to medical care in an Iranian prison. The world should take note. #FreeNazanin #FreeNarges
