His supporters had been holding daily acts of protest to force the regime to release him.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, June 29, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in a statement reported that hundreds of workers, teachers and youths rallied outside the office of the Iranian regime\u2019s president Hassan Rouhani in Tehran earlier in the day in support of Mr. Azimzadeh, demanding urgent action to save his life.<\/p>\n<p>Gathering from different cities across Iran, protesters were seen chanting, \u201cWorkers don\u2019t belong in prison. Workers\u2019 wages is not lashing,\u201d \u201cJailed workers must be freed,\u201d \u201cPolitical prisoners must be freed,\u201d \u201c62 days have passed and Jafar remains in jail,\u201d and \u201cPlunderers are free, workers are in jail.\u201d The repressive intelligence agents and police prevented anyone from taking any video footage or still images of the rally.<\/p>\n<p>A day prior to this gathering Rasoul Boddaghi, Ismail Abdi and Mahmoud Beheshti Langroudi, jailed teachers who were recently released, were joined by 180 other teachers and workers issuing a statement announcing a hunger strike from Thursday, June 30, to Saturday, July 2 in support of Mr. Azimzadeh.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Mr. Ali Moezi, a supporter of the People&#8217;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK) and a number of other political prisoners in the prisons of Evin and Gohardasht underscored the repressive regime and its so-called judiciary are responsible for Mr. Azimzadeh\u2019s health and well-being, adding they, too, will be on hunger strike starting Tuesday, June 28.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Azimzadeh had gone unconscious many times in the past few days. Despite his conditions, Hajilou, the regime\u2019s representative in the public prosecutor\u2019s office, has said they will do nothing in the case of Mr. Azidzadeh losing his life.<\/p>\n<p>Azimzadeh was on hunger strike protesting the \u201cviolation of the fundamental rights of teachers and workers,\u201d \u201ctheir detention and prosecution for bogus reasons\u201d and raising charges such as \u201cacting against security\u201d against labor activists and teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Azimzadeh, who was arrested on November 8, 2015, has been serving a six-year prison sentence in Ward 8 of Evin Prison for engaging in peaceful and legitimate trade union activities.<\/p>\n<p>On May 27, Mr. Azimzadeh sent an open letter to the International Labor Organization (ILO) from prison in which he lambasted the Iranian regime&#8217;s mistreatment of workers.<\/p>\n<p>A key demand of Mr. Azimzadeh and other workers\u2019 union activists is for the authorities to drop the charge of \u201cgathering and colluding to commit crimes against national security\u201d and other national security charges in cases of union activities.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Azimzadeh\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/human-rights\/20422-iran-political-prisoner-s-health-deteriorates-on-day-26-of-hunger-strike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">sent a statement<\/a>\u00a0out of Evin Prison following the release on bail of fellow political prisoner Ismail Abdi, Secretary General of Iran\u2019s Teachers\u2019 Trade Association (ITTA), vowing to continue his hunger strike until the &#8220;demands of millions of teachers and workers&#8221; are met.<\/p>\n<p>Amnesty International issued an Urgent Action appeal in his support on June 29, saying: \u201cIranian trade unionist Jafar Azimzadeh, the Chair of the Free Union of Workers of Iran, lost consciousness on 27 June following a two-month-long hunger strike. He has been hospitalized since 18 June due to his deteriorating health, but is at risk of being returned to Tehran\u2019s Evin Prison, where his life may be at risk. He is a prisoner of conscience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis health deteriorated after he started an indefinite hunger strike on 29 April, in advance of International Workers&#8217; Day on 1 May. He began the hunger strike in protest at the arrest and conviction of himself and other trade unionists and teachers on trumped-up national security-related charges; the repression of trade unionists\u2019 peaceful assemblies and strikes; the ban on independently organized events for International Workers&#8217; Day and World Teachers\u2019 Day; and the continuing existence of wages that
