At 89, I am on a hunger strike for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe

We cannot allow Richard Ratcliffe’s ending of his courageous 21-day hunger strike to be the end of publicity urging the government to pay its long-owed debt so that Nazanin and the other hostages return home. Thus many of us across the country are on a hunger strike in his place (for limited days), to keep this injustice in the spotlight. I am now into my third day and in my 90th year. I can’t see what else I can do.
