An Iraqi woman imprisoned in Iran who has been on hunger strike since April 8 protesting lack of medical care, has been placed under pressure by the regime’s judiciary and prison guards. Basma Jabouri has also been threatened to write a repent statement. This woman is in very critical physical conditions due to her long-running hunger strike. She has lost much of her weight, is suffering from severe drop in blood pressure, shakes, an increase in heart rate, decrease in eye vision and severe headaches. As a result, her life is in serious danger.
Al-Jabouri is placed in a warehouse along with 80 other imprisoned women and held in extremely hot conditions without any cooling devices. This in itself has placed her under extreme physical and psychological conditions.
