RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY:Iran: Concern Grows Over Fate Of Jailed Journalist

RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY: "Iran's most prominent jailed investigative journalist, Akbar Ganji, has been jailed for the last five years because of his critical articles and his investigation into the murders of political dissidents and intellectuals -- murders in which, he says, top Iranian officials were involved. Now, Ganji�s wife says that he has been on hunger strike for a month as he demands to be released unconditionally from prison. On 12 July, a gathering is due to take place in Tehran in his support."
