Five of the prisoners including  Mostafa Faghih, 50, and Rahim Rsh, 70, are severely sick, and they need immediate surgery. According the IRI law; prisoners, who are more than 50 years old, can apply for health treatment at their own expense.

The prisoners have frequently objected to their horrible situation in the Mahabad prison as transferring to solitary confinement, inhuman attitude of prison officials against themselves and their family, mixed wards along criminal inmates, exile, humiliating attitude, insulting to prisoners by officials, deprivation of the rights of access to lawyer, lack of the health treatment, poor quality  of food and water, lack of hygiene and cleanliness in the wards and unreasonable punishment.

It should be noted; prison guards had maneuvered about two hours in order to empower the vigor to prevent the probable chaos in the prison on 12 Jan 2015 as colonel Najafi, supervisor of the prison guard, declared.

In this regard, Human Rights activists have concerned about the consequences of this exercise and they do believe that this maneuver is probably linked to the recent Urmia prisoner�s hunger strike. This military exercise is to avoiding any probable disarray in Mahabad prison, Human Rights activists have acknowledged.
