The imprisoned board members of the Movement “Muslim Unity” addressed to the public in an open letter, stating,
“Our main purpose in making this appeal is that we are still innocent and in custody. In fact, as everyone knows we have been convicted and imprisoned”.
It is further pointed out in the letter that a large number of prisoners, including believers, was pardoned in 2019 in accordance with a Presidential Decree. However, this pardon did not affect all of the imprisoned faithful movement members. And the imprisoned believers asked,
“If we are guilty why did they release our brothers who had been arrested along with us, and we are still kept imprisoned? When one runs out of the last hope, one also runs out of patience and does not really know what move to make in this case. So, we intend to start a hunger strike to make our innocent cry, our voice of truth be heard worldwide. We are forced to take such a step simply because we are losing hope that our voice cannot be heard otherwise. We call upon our relatives and friends to support us in this action.”
