The regime promised to release Ganji - They lied

Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzzi
Akbar Ganji's wife, Massoumeh Shafii, in a radio interview called the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran “Infamous and Shameless Charlatans; she said hopelessly: the judiciary officials acted in contradiction to the agreement we arrived at together.” Shafii explained: The regime actively manipulated my family into convincing Akbar to discontinue his hunger strike; they had also struck a deal with us, demanding that I refrain from any further interviews or public statements and they had promised that Mortazavi (pint-size Tehran prosecutor-general known for killing Zahra Kazemi among others) would also stop issuing his counterfeit reports.”

Shafii said: The regime's authorities had promised Ganji that with the various conditions in place and his hunger strike terminated, that he would be handed his release orders within 10 days; however as usual, the so-called Gentlemen, including Mortazavi conned us.”
