What was behind the claim of a "strike in Qezel Hesar prison"? 🔺With the emergence of the claim of a massive strike in Qezel Hesar prison, investigations show that this incident is related to the protest of several convicted and accused major drug traffickers following the execution of judicial sentences. 🔺By studying the news published about the participants in the strike and sit-in at Qezel Hesar prison, the first point worth mentioning is that the described event took place in the section for prisoners convicted and accused of major and professional drug trafficking. 🔺All those who are allegedly on strike and are protesting are professional industrial drug traffickers whose actions have impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of Iranian families. The accused and convicted individuals include owners of industrial drug production kitchens and major drug traffickers with cases involving the production and sale of tens and hundreds of kilos of drugs such as heroin, crystal, crack, etc. 🔺The claim that 1500 people have gone on a so-called hunger strike in protest against this procedure is a lie that has previously been observed among these individuals. 🔺In the past one or two years, false claims of hunger strikes in the drug convicts' section have been published by hostile media, and CCTV footage has shown that the convicts and accused individuals in this specific section, while refusing to receive prison food, continue to purchase from the prison cafeteria and obtain their meals from there.
