Arin Kokhaei, a detained man from Ilam, started a hunger strike by sewing his lips in protest against the lack of processing of his case in the central prison of Ilam.

According to the report received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, on February 14, 2023, Arin Kokhaei, 22 years old and from Ilam, started a hunger strike by sewing his lips.

This citizen has been accused of "forming a criminal group, destruction and showing of force with firearms, and disturbing public order" by the investigation of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Ilam Revolution.

According to Hengaw sources, in December of this year, Arin Kokhaei was sentenced to a fine by the Ilam Criminal Court in another case on the charge of "insulting the sacred."

It should be mentioned that he has been subjected to torture in the detention center of government institutions to force him to confess to the charges attributed to him by the judicial system.

Arin Kokhaei was abducted by the government forces on Saturday, October 29, 2022, and after being interrogated and tortured, he was transferred to the central prison of Ilam.
