Six Iranians have been on hunger strike since 05/04/2011 after being refused political asylum in Britain after escaping imprisonment, torture, and threat of death in Iran. Though their lives will be in danger should they return to Iran, they have been ignored, dismissed and let down by UK authorities since they sought refuge in this country last year.
