For this reason, on October 17, she was sentenced to one year of additional imprisonment. Protesting the unfair treatment, Ms. Akbari went on a hunger strike in Lakan prison in Rasht since October 18. The political prisoner also refused to visit her family and said she would continue her hunger strike until liberation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;text-align: justify\">UPDATE: 7:30 PM CEST<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Former Official Warns The Current Diplomatic Stalemate Will Lead to Activation of Snapback Mechanism Against Tehran<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Jalal-Sadatian-former-Iranian-MP-min\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-249652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jalal-Sadatian-former-Iranian-MP-min.jpg\" alt=\"Jalal Sadatian, former Iranian MP-min\" width=\"1000\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jalal-Sadatian-former-Iranian-MP-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jalal-Sadatian-former-Iranian-MP-min-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jalal-Sadatian-former-Iranian-MP-min-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jalal-Sadatian-former-Iranian-MP-min-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jalal-Sadatian-former-Iranian-MP-min-696x432.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Jalal Sadatian, former MP and a state-affiliated expert in foreign policy, warned the regime&#8217;s leaders against &#8220;procrastination and time-wasting&#8221; in returning to the negotiating table, threatening that this will lead to an activation of the &#8220;JCPOA snapback mechanism&#8221; by international parties.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Sadatian told state-run Jamaran News: &#8220;With the delay, there is a risk that Europe and the United States will work together to activate the snapback mechanism.
