The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran has compiled a list of Iranian prisoners of conscience who have perished while in custody over the years. It should be noted that on 18 June, twelve political prisoners began an “indefinite” hunger strike in Tehran’s Evin prison to protest the ongoing flagrant human rights abuses in the country, in particular the violations of political prisoner rights.
