Akbar Ganji Subjected to Harsh Prison Conditions in Iran Click Here to Take Action http://action.humanrightsfirst.org/campaign/Ganji_III Outspoken government critic and leading human rights activist Akbar Ganji is in the fourth month of solitary confinement in a high security wing of Tehran's notorious Evin Prison. Serving a six year sentence for his investigative journalism exposing the government's involvement in the murder of dissidents, Ganji continues to be a leading voice holding the Iranian authorities accountable for serious violations of human rights and advocating non-violent resistance to the government. For refusing to recant his previous writings and for continuing to promote human rights he is being held in what amount to punitive prison conditions with insufficient food and medicine in violation of international human rights standards. Weakened by chronic illness, years of imprisonment and by hunger strike protests he conducted last year, Akbar Ganji remains in poor health. Please call for an end to the mistreatment of Akbar Ganji and for his immediate release from prison.
