A widespread strike by prisoners at Kazalasar Prison in Iran has been ongoing for several days, according to reports. The protest is against the Iranian regime's execution policy.
According to reports, prisoners at Kazalasar Prison in Karaj, Iran, have been on a widespread strike for several days, protesting the regime's execution policy. The number of prisoners involved and the exact nature of the strike have not been specified.
The Zioneer has previously reported on a hunger strike by approximately 1,500 death-row inmates at the same prison, which was in its eighth day as of Tuesday. Broader reports indicate that over 100 executions have been carried out in Iran over the past month, as part of a sustained crackdown.
It remains unclear whether this strike is a separate action or an extension of the earlier hunger strike. The situation is developing.
