EVANSTON -- Professors, students and alumni at Northwestern University are orchestrating a hunger strike in support of an American journalist imprisoned in Iran.
The FreeRoxana campaign is being organized in an effort to pressure Iran to release Roxana Saberi. She's a 1999 graduate of the university's Medill School of Journalism.
The 31-year-old North Dakota native was arrested in January and convicted last month of spying for the U.S. She was sentenced to eight years in prison after a one-day trial behind closed doors.

Northwestern students, faculty, plan Saberi hunger strike :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Education
Irans treatment of journalist, political dissidents, women, homosexuals, and apostates are human rights violations that everyone should be concerned with. Roxana Saberi was railroaded by an evil theocracy which will stop at nothing to crush those it disagrees with.
Please visit Free Roxana Saberi
Patience, the Iranian defenders with be along shortly to make comparisons to TX. :roll:Hatuey, what do you think?
People think because it worked for Ghandi, it'll work for them.
Its symbolic but that's besides the point.
2 American women journalist are also being held in North Korea.
Whats telling is neither the media in the USA nor the Government of the USA seems to care.
The obvious conclusion to that is Obama will not rock the boat even for American's who are in effect being held hostage and the media will gladly make sure they don't become big issues.
Only thing left to do is things like this in a rather vain hope of forcing attention to the issue.
Typical Left-Liberal response...Or if you prefer New-Liberal.
I was referring to TheNextEra's "the hell with them they deserve it" routine.
That was a typical Left-Liberal, New-Liberal, or as I prefer to call them Far Left response.

Its not an "attack".
Its just an observation of the typical response you'd see from many "Liberals" today.
Look up the definitions if you must.
Did I accuse someone of being a nefarious individual with an epitaph? :rofl
no
If you meant the ('..."the hell with them" routine.') bit ..read their post.
If you're just being sarcastic..well ok:3oops:

Gandhi is only recognized because he got capped.
Gandhi's myth is a trillion times larger than the actual person. His solution for the Jews during the holocaust was to commit mass suicide, to get the world angry against the Axis regimes.

Yeah, and gives them a piece of his mind.I hope Obama goes to Iran soon.
The U.S. state department issues warning about travels to these countries, these IDIOTS decided to go against it. Their fault, their trouble. These warnings are issued for reasons, such as it is NOT SAFE for Americans to go to.
If you are going to ignore the warnings of the U.S. on specific areas for travel, you travel at your OWN RISK.
This is just stupid. Iran is not going to give a ****. At most the Iranians are probably laughing their asses off over the idea that naive school kids here in the US can change the minds of the Iranian government by starving themselves. Thats like threatening to hurt yourself if China doesn't free Tibet or stop exploiting workers or threatening to shove a jumbo novelty pencil up your ass if North Korea doesn't stop its nukes.
Yeah its ****ed up that woman was brought up on fraudulent spy charges and tossed in prison.However stipud college kids over here in the US starving themselves is not going to make one bit of difference to the Iranians.
