Unveiling the alleged leaders of the Qezel Hesar Prison hunger strike

Major drug traffickers and armed robbers, with the backing of hostile media outlets, recently made claims of staging a hunger strike. These allegations quickly fell apart after surveillance footage was released, showing that the supposed hunger strikers—whose “professions” include destroying the lives of young people and families and undermining public safety—were deceiving their media supporters. Once the phone cameras were turned off, they were seen enjoying full meals and visiting the prison commissary.

Through a series of reports, we aim to reveal the true faces of those claiming to be on hunger strike so that the public can understand what crimes these individuals have committed, under what circumstances they were imprisoned, and what sentences they are currently serving.

Ramin Hassanzadeh Emamgholi, son of Ali Akbar, born in 1992 (1371 in the Iranian calendar), is one of the alleged leaders of this so-called hunger strike. Since April 4, 2022 (15/1/1401), he has been serving his sentence at Qezel Hesar Prison for the following crimes:

• Conviction: Selling 2.985 kilograms of heroin; participating in the attempted sale of 78 grams of methamphetamine (shisheh), 98 grams of heroin, and 106.8 grams of liquid meth solution.
• Sentence: Death penalty, issued by the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Shahriar.
• Additional Charges: Participation in the possession of 364.084 kilograms of pseudoephedrine, 24.5 kilograms of hydroxide, 5 kilograms of hydrochloric acid, 2.7 kilograms of red phosphorus, and 4.15 kilograms of phosphorus—all primary precursor chemicals used in methamphetamine production.
  Sentence: 7 years in prison.
• Further Conviction: Disrupting public order and peace.
