Akbar Mohammadi, one of the leaders of the Iranian students' movement, died on Sunday night in Tehran's Evin prison, reportedly from heart failure. Together with other political prisoners, he had started a hunger strike nine days ago. Mohammadi was arrested in 1999 following students' protests against the shutdown of some indipendent papers. He reportedly died while he was taking a shower. Akbar, his brother Manouchehr, Ahmad Batebi and other students detained in Evin were on hunger strike to protest against poor prison conditions.
