The case of #RezaNorouzi, the young Iranian man who became famous when he put his own car on fire during the early days of #Iran protests.

As far as I can find in government & human rights files, he was sentenced to 5 years in prison based on special court of #IRI for "disturbing peace", "call for riot" & "endangering citizens and police".

He's said to be on dry #HungerStrike in #Rajaeeshahr prison to protest against his unjustified sentence & illtreatment by prison guards.

He was removed from the prison by force and his wear about is not known.

There are roomers about him being sentenced to death and/or already hanged spreading by some dubious accounts in US and UK, but no reliable sources inside or outside #Iran know anything about it.

His life is in danger as he is entering his second week of dry hunger strike and possibly being tortured.

The following Twitter video shows him b4 he put his car on fire:
