Zeinab Taheri, lawyer of detained leader of mysticism group Mohammad Ali Taheri, the founder of the mysticism Erfan Halgheh group, confirmed that her client was on hunger strike as of February 7, in protest to “the court not accepting his chosen lawyer and his ongoing illegal detention.”
Taheri has not been released from prison despite having served his five-year prison term. Therefore, his ongoing detention does not have any legal basis.
