On January 16th, Barry Rosen, a former U.S. Diplomat who was among the 52 Americans who were held hostage from 1979-1981 after the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, announced his plan to conduct a hunger strike. The hunger strike coincides with the 41-year anniversary of his release from captivity. To conduct his protest, the 77-year-old flew to Vienna, Austria where the Iranian nuclear deal negotitians are being held. He stated, “My message is simple, no deal with Iran unless the hostages are free,” referring to the many foreigners and Iranian dual-nationals that are falsely charged of espoinage and imprisoned by Iran, to be used by the regime as political bargaining chips on the world stage while their health deteriorates. Rosen ended his hunger strike after 5 days on January 23rd, upon the insistence of his family and the United States Special Envoy to Iran. Others took up on the hunger strike on his behalf, including two hostages currently imprisoned by the Iranian regime, Anousheh Ashouri and Kamran Ghaderi.
