The three political prisoners Saeid Masoori, Afshin Baymani and Jafar Eghdami were transferred to the Intelligence Service solitary confinement from Hall 12 at Rajai Shahr prison in the city of Karaj on 10 June 2015.
In this regard, many reports have been received from prisons throughout Iran about the persecution of the prisoners which lead them starting the hunger strike to express their basic demands.

Rasoul wrote in the part of his hardship; I was sentenced to 22 years imprisonment after passing excruciating condition months in solitary confinement of Intelligence Service. Judge of 20 branch of Revolutionary Court had sneered and said; you will figure out after losing your teeth and hair in prison when I asked him what is my guilty? I had passed 15 years, the best days of youth in prison. Officials reject my pleading letter in order to asking for health release or freeness.
Furthermore, Behnam Ebrahimzadeh, a labor rights activist, was taken to Ward first where the gangs and criminals are kept after all the persecution and tortures he has been undergone. He was arrested and convicted to 20 years imprisonment at ward 15 by the Revolutionary Court that was reduced by the appeal court to five years.
