On September 15, 2024, thirty-four political prisoners, primarily women, began a hunger strike in Evin Prison, Iran, to commemorate the second anniversary of the 'Women, Life, Freedom' movement and the death of Mahsa Amini, whose passing while in police custody ignited widespread protests against the Iranian government. Narges Mohammadi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate imprisoned since 2021, announced the strike, highlighting its significance in solidarity with ongoing protests against oppressive government policies. The protests, which saw women defy mandatory hijab laws, remain one of the most significant challenges to the Iranian regime since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Despite the government's harsh crackdown, including live ammunition usage and mass arrests, activists claim the movement has had a lasting impact on Iranian society. The hunger strike reflects escalating tensions between prisoners and prison authorities, who have implemented punitive measures against dissenters. As conditions within the prison deteriorate, the hunger strike serves as a form of protest against both the government and the treatment of inmates.
