Jailed French academic hospitalized in Iran — lawyer

French-Iranian academic Fariba Adelkhah, jailed in Iran since last year, has been transferred to a prison hospital after her health deteriorated following a hunger strike, her lawyer says.

“This is a consequence of the hunger strike she had. Unfortunately, her kidneys have been damaged,” Saeed Dehqan tells AFP, emphasizing that her situation is “concerning.”
