Last Day of Hunger Strike in London
It was the last day of the hunger strike in London, which took place in solidarity with Iran's prisoners of conscience.
Those who took part in the hunger strike had two common denominators. They were Iranians and they wanted to see the prisoners of conscience in Iran set free.
Whether they were republicans, monarchists, Left or Right, they respected each other for the hardship they put themselves through to publicise Iran's political prisoners of conscience.
Today there was also a pleasant surprise call from Reza Pahlavi. He spoke to most of the participants on hunger strike. Monarchists or Republicans, it didn't matter, they were more than happy to converse with Reza Pahlavi on the phone.
What they all admired was that Reza Pahlavi backed any unified action in support of all of Iran's political prisoners, irrespective of who had called for it. Unlike some others who made five minute appearances and were quickly interviewed by the BBC Persian Service outside the Bush House and then quickly left, Reza Pahlavi wasn't after scoring political points for himself. What mattered to Reza Pahlavi most, was that we were standing side by side for a common goal, helping to create an Iran where no one will be harmed for their views.
Iranian political figures who are constantly being interviewed by Persian media across the world and are stuck in the same old useless discussions relating to more than a quarter of century ago, should learn from the rank and file who made this hunger strike possible.
I will have more pictures soon.

I admire your goal, but even more I admire your means.
Keep it up.
Thanks Potkin. Keep it up. Best.
Reza Pahlavi has done this sort of thing before. He's a class act and he really cares about the future of Iran and its people.
Thanks for the report.

I am not surprised at the unqualified support that H R H Reza Pahlavi gave to this hunger strike, but what baffled and disappointed me is the lack of support that the Persian (Iranian) Diaspora gave to this movement at such a critical junction in our fight against the Taleban in Tehran
Fereydoon,
Relatively speaking it was not bad. More than 20 people gave up solid food and slept in the street overnight outside the BBC Persian service instead of enjoying the sunny weekend with their families. This must be appreciated.
I don't know what came of it but it is better to try and fail than do nothing and live in a prison of inaction. IF any one of us were in prison for no reason we would hope that someone would be moved to take some action on our behalf. x
Reza Pahlavi is as weak and incompetent as his father.
A good Reza Pahlavi is a Dead Reza Pahlavi.
Give up for god's sake
