St. Paul, Minn. — Journalist and Fargo, N.D., native Roxana Saberi has joined a rolling hunger strike to show solidarity for two American hikers being held in prison in Iran.
Minnesota native Shane Bauer and his friend Josh Fattal have begun their 23rd month of detention. Their trial on charges of spying has been delayed.
Saberi, who in 2009 spent 100 days in the same Iranian prison where Bauer and Fattal are being held, went on a hunger strike while imprisoned, and supporters around the world also participated.
