British-Iranin activist Vahid Beheshti on his 23rd day of hunger strike outside the Foreign Office

  • last year
An Iranian-British activist on his 23rd day of hunger strike says he is “willing to give whatever price” it takes until the UK government adds Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to its list of international terrorist organisations.

Vahid Beheshti, a 46-year-old journalist, who used to live in Camberwell but now lives in Coventry, says he is determined to make his voice heard.

He has been camped outside the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office since February 23, surviving on a daily diet of one cup of coffee, a few cubes of sugar, some salt and “plenty of water”.
