Sister of death row prisoner: Khamenei will be responsible if anything happens to him
The sister of Mohammed Ali Taheri, the prisoner of conscience on death row and currently on a hunger strike, said Iran’s leaders will be responsible for his fate.
“Mohammed is in his 58th day of hunger strike. On October 7th his family went to visit him in Evin Prison . He had become very skinny and was very ill. He was looking like a skeleton. We are very worried. The family asked Mohammed to end his hunger strike, but he said he will continue until his demands are met. The hunger strike is in his the only means left for him,” Azardokht Taheri said.

“If anything happens to him in prison Khamenei himself and judiciary officials must be held accountable. Mohammad had very basic and legal requests, and he launched a hunger strike due to the officials neglect to these requests,” she added.
“Mohammad is not allowed to see his clients. They don’t even provide him with any papers or pens to write down his defense statements. They haven’t even announced his verdict to him. He has learned of his ruling through his family. If I learn that if I set myself able my brother will gain some attention and someone will do something, I will most definitely do this,” she added.
