I have decided not to eat the whole day. I have never done this, and I want to see how it feels to be on hunger strike for one day. Only water and tea. No sugar, no milk, no juice, nothing other than that.

I don't think we understand the strength of this brave woman before we actually try to do this ourselves. Imagine, she has been on hunger strike since October 17th, 2012. Her only demand is to be treated humanely and respectfully by the thugs of Islamic Republic.

This is my simple act of solidarity with Nasrin Sotoudeh.

"If I am not allowed to defend my clients, I would rather get hanged right next to them." ~Nasrin Sotoudeh, Iranian prisoner of conscience, human rights lawyer, woman's rights defender, on hunger strike since October 17 for her rights as a mother, wife and sister for family visitations. Another proud face of Iran's civil society which no chains can restrain and no dungeon can silence! http://www.facebook.com/NasrinSotoudeh http://www.amnesty.ie/news/hunger-strike-fears-nasrin-sotoudeh
