Akbar Ganji's lawyer said : Akbar Ganji has entered in his 25th day of hunger strike and because of not using medication together with hunger strike, brought difficult condition for him, and would at any time result to an unexpected situation .

Shireen Ebadi in speaking with ILNA repoter said : The reason that Ganji went on hunger strike is because during the last month all his effort through legal and peaceful mean for recieving medical treatment outside the prison was not achieved , Once more I call the officials in judiciary to pay attention to Ganjis situation , most especialy that he has spent 5 years jail that he calls it illegal sentencing.
Ebadi said: Ganjis problem will be solved by resting in hospital , therefore why some people make the situation difficult and make this a wide spread problem.

Lawyer of Ganji continued : Ganji is ill and must rest in hospital and be medically attended, this isn't a big demand particularly that his prison term is coming to an end in a few months.
