Vienna Hunger Strike Videos
I am starting a hunger strike this week in Vienna, 41 years after my release, to demand the release of all hostages being held by #Iran. They are human beings, not bargaining chips. Their freedom should come before we make any deals with an untrustworthy regime. #FreeTheHostagespic.twitter.com/zKqhcKJ7uk
Thank you to @Salqaq, the chief negotiator for the UK in the Vienna talks, for meeting with me today. I pressed very strongly for a multilateral approach to any deal with Iran, which would ensure the freedom of current and any potential future hostages. #freethehostagespic.twitter.com/Yla9hIqBsk
Back in the US today where I am continuing the fight to #FreeTheHostages. I had a very productive discussion with a senior member of the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We discussed the need for Europe to press for the release of all hostages taken by Iran. pic.twitter.com/dMdwSjeghm
As I return home, I am exhausted but incredibly proud of what we have accomplished this week. We have connected with negotiators, talked with families of hostages and even spoken with hostages imprisoned in Evin. #FreeTheHostagespic.twitter.com/bZ63aReCLd
This morning was my last in Vienna. Even though I am leaving, the #FreeTheHostages movement will continue. We must not forget them and we must continue to demand their release before any deal is struck with Iran. Thank you all once again for your incredible support. pic.twitter.com/nR9DMpUDTW
Day 4 of my hunger strike – feeling weaker. Have had a constructive conversation with @USEnvoyIran Robert Malley. Have also sent letters to E3 and EU and am hoping they reply and engage with me to help #FreetheHostages. Thank you for all your support pic.twitter.com/BdjUULrXIs
On Day 3 of my hunger strike I am starting to feel tired. My Austrian-Iranian doctor has found my blood pressure is high which is worrying. I will continue as long as I can. The messages of support from families and hostages themselves help keep me going #FreeTheHostagespic.twitter.com/5lhYh9YbCB
Day 4: Special thanks to @USEnvoyIran Rob Malley for the statement ensuring to #FreeTheHostages before any deal with Iran. Thanks to my colleague @hostageaid @Brosen1500 for all his efforts & for ending his hunger strike as his health is a priority. The campaign will go on. pic.twitter.com/9OxvrFFvFZ
Day 2: As we campaign & hunger strike to #FreeTheHostages held in Iran, what encourages me is the HOPE that the hostages feel when they know the world outside has not forgotten them. It is this hope that keeps them going day after day in captivity. As a former hostage, I know. pic.twitter.com/kpyKqEhYvS
Day 1: I arrived this morning to Vienna to join my colleague @brosen1501 at @HostageAid in his hunger strike during the ongoing nuclear negotiations taking place here. We are calling on world powers to prioritize the release of all hostages held in Iran before any deal is signed pic.twitter.com/UpfAV7sC5V
