PROMINENT Iranian dissident Hossein Ronaghi has been taken back to prison after receiving hospital treatment following more than 50 days on hunger strike, the judiciary said on Tuesday.
The judiciary’s Mizan Online news website reported: “He has been discharged from hospital after being examined by doctors and has returned to prison.”
Mr Ronaghi is one of dozens of prominent rights activists, journalists and lawyers arrested in a brutal crackdown on protests that erupted after the death of Mahsa Amini, following her arrest by the so-called morality police.
