6 Iranians have been on hunger strike since 05/04.2011.
It started on 05 April by 7 people in front t of the Amnesty International office in London.

Mehran, one of those taking part, wants to divide the hunger strikers into 2 groups of 3: one group to continue their strike in front of the Amnesty International office in London and the other groups to move to Croydon and continued their strike in front of Home Office. Kiarash is expressing his painful ordeal. They are very distressed and are physically and emotionally in an unbearable situation. Two of them was taken to hospital by the Police but doctors were not successful in convincing them to remove their stitches in order to eat. Mehran believes no body from related organisation has taken them seriously yet, although some security clerk from Home Offiice has checked on them from time to times.

Those who take are taking part in this hunger strikes are: Ahmed S, Mehran M, Mahyar M, Morteza B, Kiarash B, Kivan B.

These are vulnerable, intelligent,educated and loving human beings who flew Iran, they run from Iranian Fascist Government and luckily saved their life. They all left behind a horrifying history of imprisonment and torture, they are here in order to build a better life . They need the Support of British Government in order to fulfil their wishes and live a normal life like all of us. They will stay on their strike until gain their goals. They also need support of people who are reading this news.
