Margaret Owen says many people across the country are going on hunger strikes to support Richard Ratcliff’s efforts to free his wife

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.
