Local Bay Area rapper announces hunger strike for rights in Iran outside of City Hall, San Francisco. Hunger strike will run from September 8th to September 22nd. Ross Mirkarimi spoke at press conference to announce the beginning of Turaj Zaim's fast on Civic Center park, across Polk Street from City Hall. During these two weeks, Turaj is passing out information about ongoing abuses in Iran, as well as drafting a list of "Seven Missing Rights" with the help of lawyers who have recently left Iran. The strike has been well supported by the Bay Area's Iranian-American community, who have come together to purchase Turaj's flight to New York to speak at the protest of Ahmadinejad's visit to the UN as representative of Iran.
