Iran inmates sew lips shut in mass hunger strike at notorious US-sanctioned jail: report

Over 1,000 death-row inmates at Iran’s Ghezel Hesar Prison, a U.S.-sanctioned facility, entered a third week of a mass hunger strike to protest executions, with some sewing their lips shut. The strike began after six inmates were moved to solitary confinement, and prisoners demand halting executions, particularly for drug-related offenses.
