Mojgan Kavousi, an Iranian Kurd, writer and researcher, imprisoned in Evin Prison, ended her hunger strike on the evening of Tuesday, May 25th, 2021.

According to the Campaign for the Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners, Mojgan Kavousi, an Iranian Kurd political prisoner who had been on a hunger strike since Sunday, May 16th, 2021, in protest to the authorities’ preference in implementing the circular on sending prisoners on leave, announced the end of her hunger strike on May 25th, 2021.

The political prisoner ended her hunger strike after serving more than a year in Evin Prison without granting a temporary prison leave.

Ms. Kavousi has also been denied a face-to-face visitation, and despite the fact that her family comes to Tehran from Kelardasht to visit her, their meeting takes place in a cabin.

She had previously been denied prison temporary leave by the Evin Prison Disciplinary Council following a hunger strike to protest the refusal to grant leave.

On Tuesday, September 30, 2016, Mojgan Kavousi, a Kurdish political prisoner from Kelardasht who is serving her sentence in Evin Prison, went on a hunger strike to protest authority refusal to grant her temporarily prison leave as well as the discrimination for the phone call to the families.

This political prisoner, who suffers from gastrointestinal disease and hemorrhoids, was sent to Taleghani Hospital to undergo surgery in the women’s ward of Evin Prison on Wednesday, September 16th, 2020.
