Mohammad Kazerouni bloggs on Iranian Truth:
"I have never fasted in my life, nor been on a hunger stirke. I decided to do this event striktly to show solidarity and my support for those political prisoners and students in Iran who were doing the same." and "I believed that maybe through my actions I could show some solidarity and also to bring attention to the plight of those inside the country. Similar strikes like ours were also going to take place all over Europe, largly due to the announcement of Reza Pahlavi of his intention to go on a hunger strike to show solidarity with those inside Iran."
