ICHRI:

In an apparent response to growing pressure to resolve the issue, Tehran Prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi has criticized media coverage of a wave of hunger strikes in Iran by political prisoners

 
“Some in the media are blasting off every day about hunger strikes by national security prisoners and hurling accusations against the prosecutor’s office and the Judiciary,” he said
 
“Currently, Mr. Ali Shariati, whose most important charge relates to his participation at a rally in front of Parliament to protest against acid attacks on women in Isfahan, has been on hunger strike for 65 days to protest his five-year prison sentence,” said conservative MP Ali Motahari on January 4, 2017, via his Instagram page. “I hope the Judiciary will also take a look into this case and resolve it wisely so that it won’t become an excuse for the enemies of the Islamic revolution to criticize us for human rights [violations].”
