Iranian hunger striker getting worse

The famous Iranian dissident Akbar Ganji is still on his hunger strike and getting worse. The Iranian Prospect reports:
Akbar Ganji has been more than 1800 days in the jail until now. Last week, He started hunger strike. His wife was so disturbed about his situation. “I will join him with hunger strike at the front of UN office in Tehran if he advises me.” Ganji is so sick in the jail now. “He has lost 9 Kg in the last two months.”
Ganji is the author of a powerful manifesto we reported earlier this week in which he called on:
"...all Iranians, particularly the democratic and free lover forces, to abstain from taking part in the forthcoming presidential elections in Iran." ...

Maybe the elimination of this writer satisfies the [Supreme] leader. But
one must not be afraid from a death for freedom, democracy and respect of human rights. ...

One can not stop the flood of freedom. Be sure that the dawn of freedom would soon appear and children of Iran would stand witness to a regime respectful of human rights
