Ghoncheh Ghavami, a British-Iranian woman has gone on hunger strike to protest (link is external) her 100 days of imprisonment in a Tehran prison

Ghoncheh Ghavami, a British-Iranian woman has gone on hunger strike to protest (link is external) her 100 days of imprisonment in a Tehran prison. She was arrested twice, first on June 20 after she tried to watch a men's volleyball game and again a few days later when she was called back to reclaim confiscated items. Iranian women are banned from watching certain male sports events - a rule Ghavami was protesting outside the stadium where the match took place.

Ghavami's family says the law student has been on strike for six days, and is currently in solitary confinement. Using #FreeGhoncheh (link is external) and #FreeGhonchehGhavami (link is external), many are protesting her detention.
