His digestive problems arose after a long-term hunger strike in 2016, and has become more serious due to the authorities’ disagreements for receiving treatment. It has been said that Arash Sadeghi is in need of a healthy diet, but the quality of the Prison’s food is horrible, and this has increased his digestive problems. He has been deprived from treatment for more than a year, and the security officials refuse to admit him in a hospital.
