(ANSA) - TEHRAN, SEPTEMBER 26 - Iranian lawyer and human rights activist Nasrin Sotoudeh has put an end to a hunger strike that had been going on for more than 45 days due to health problems. This was announced by her husband Reza Khandan.
He himself had announced on social networks that his 57-year-old wife had started a hunger strike on 11 August to denounce the conditions of incarceration of political prisoners detained for reasons denounced as "improbable".
Winner of the Sakharov Prize awarded by the European Parliament in 2012, Sotoudeh was sentenced in 2019 to 12 years in prison for defending a woman who had demonstrated against the obligation of the veil. (HANDLE).
