Iranian Christian prisoner, Amin Afshar Naderi, has fallen seriously ill after going on a hunger strike with fellow Christian inmate. The two were initially detained last August along with three other who were arrested on a picnic raid. No charges have been brought against the men though they have lived behind bars for months. The hunger strike undertaken was in response to the lack of medical assistance needed. Photo: Amin Afshar Naderi, left, and Hadi Asgari began their hunger strike on 5 February.
