Hunger-striker removes mouth stitches
Adnan Hassan Mohamedi has refused food for two weeks in a desperate attempt to highlight his asylum application. The 35-year-old has been here for 16 months and claims, as a former member of Iran’s socialist party, he was tortured and beaten. Acquaintances say his arms are heavily bruised.
The father-of-one unstitched his mouth on Wednesday and began taking small amounts of water, after pleas from concerned supporters. However, he remains on hunger strike in his bed in Hatch Hall, Leeson Street, Dublin.
