Hunger strikes on the rise in support of detained activists

As Egyptian-American activist Mohamed Soltan enters his 232th day of hunger strike with deteriorating health, more people are joining the initiative as an objection to the Protest Law.

On Friday, an anonymous person phoned Soltan’s family and said that Soltan is in a critical health condition, said spokesperson for Soltan’s family Sara Mohamed, who also began a hunger strike nine days ago.
