The letter states that Ward 350 has not had any new entry since the spring of 2014, for a long time there have been only 9 prisoners in this Ward, and "are experiencing conditions more difficult than solitary". Constant hunger strikes of political prisoners in other wards and prisons indicate the futility of separating political prisoners, and separating political prisoners from each other is in fact an "indirect torture".
