Following the release of a statement by the political prisoners announcing the end of their hunger strike on Sunday evening, July 25, the Revolutionary Guards and prison guards dispatched a number of their agents among ordinary prisoners to prison ward number one in Evin battering severely the strikers. The individuals led by one of the agents by the name of Esmaeel Eftekhari have threatened some of the hunger strikers to death.

According to reports from inside the Evin prison, the prison guards not only made no gesture to stop the brutal assault on the prisoners, but also endorsed this act when the political prisoners protested.

He was reportedly threatened with imminent execution, as part of the pressure exerted to force him to end his hunger strike. Zamani along with two other Mojahedin political prisoners, Mahdavi, wrote a letter to the United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan on January 24, 2005, finding mission to "investigate the plight of families of political prisoners, particularly those whose loved ones were tortured or executed in mullahs' prisons in the 1980s".
