Ganji; The hungry hero is still feeding the news

I am still watching and scratching my head to figure out what is going on for Ganji and things around him is becoming very wired. At least he is alive and hospitalised and I am wondering how much his hunger strike (more than this stage) can make progress to his demands. Perhaps if he waits and let his captivity period finish, he can be a bigger voice for human rights. It is very great of him with his strategies that attracted many attentions to his issue but if the idea is to keep him talking, the better solution would be having him alive I guess. I am damn busy these days, in a business trip in a very hot weather condition (around 50c in shadow!).

With my knowledge of freedom fighters in my country, I think his hunger-strike is making strong impact - he is constantly being talked about in foreign press, blogs, by human right activities and Iranians (and some foreigners) in both Iran and outside Iran. This might put some pressure on the Iranian government/Judicial system. Thus I think through his hunger he is making powerful statements.

I guess who be interested to know what Muslims are doing to reject terrorism:

CLERICS ISSUE A FATWA AGAINST TERROR: It took time but it looks good. Among the highlights:

1. All acts of terrorism targeting civilians are haram (forbidden) in Islam.

2. It is haram for a Muslim to cooperate with any individual or group that is involved in any act of terrorism or violence.

3. It is the civic and religious duty of Muslims to cooperate with law enforcement authorities to protect the lives

Dear Mr. Behi,

Ganji started his first hunger strike because he was seriously ill and was denied access to proper medical treatment and justice. The same is true for his second hunger strike as he was in fact arrested again during his time of medical leave he had won through the first strike. Another very importnat thing is that when his time is up, he is not going to be free. Everyone know they are cooking another plot to keep him in jail, now that he has managed to smuggle out writings such as his Republican Manifesto. So it is just wishful thinking that he can be more effective by keeping a low profile and be freed. The only way he can be out of prison with no problem is to completely be silent about everything and also sign a letter of remorse. The only way to proceed with the cause of freedom for Ganji and everybody in Iran is to fight for it, as Ganji himself so truly described: Freedom is not free.
