The Moslem Student Association
meanwhile announced its members
will fast to demonstrate support for
the jail inmates and a group calling
itself Progressive Students said 30 of
its members also are abstaining from
food.
Sheriff Raymond Frank ordered
three of the prisoners taken to a hos
pital for tests Tuesday but said doc
tors advised none needed hospitali
zation.
“Their being on a hunger strike is
not helping their health any. It
looked to me like several were in real
bad shape,” Frank said. “But the
doctors said they didn’t need to stay
in the hospital.”
Frank said the protesters scrawled
anti-American slogans on the jail
walls and demanded special pri

“They’re very pushy,” Frank said.
“They want to be given priority.”
All 20 of the protesters have re
fused offers for release on personal
bond. Three women originally
arrested with the men relented and
were released on personal bonds
Tuesday.
The women said they will con
tinue to fast but were concerned ab
out their health deteriorating in the
jail.
“We were put in dirty, over
crowded cells where cockroaches
crawled over us,” said Rama Yaghi,
one of the three women. “Our health
was deteriorating and we were tre
ated very badly in jail, worse than
ordinary prisoners, and we were
political prisoners.”
Frank denied the foreign prison
ers were treated any differently from
other inmates.
The sheriff said the male fore
igners were moved to a minimum
security facility at Del Valley last
week where conditions are less
crowded, but the protesters ob
jected to being away from the down
town Austin jail.
Hadi Sadeghi, deputy to the gen
eral consul of Iran in Houston, vi
sited the county jail Tuesday and met
with the foreign prisoners.
“I guess they could be treated bet
ter,” Sadeghi said. “It would be a lot
better if the school (UT) wovdd drop
the charges.”
UT security officers arrested the
shouting demonstrators for disrupt
ing a Jan. 31 speech on campus by
Iran’s former representative to the
United Nations, Fereydoun
Hoveyda.
The protesters were taken from
the auditorium and released but
police re-arrested the demonstrators
after formal charges were filed last
week.
The foreigners face Class B misde
meanor charges, subject to $1,000
fine and 180 days in jail.
