          Washington, 2 November (WashingtonTV)—Jailed Iranian journalist Fanba Pajooh has ended her hunger strike,
          begun on 26 October, because of very serious health problems, Reporters Without Borders said on Monday.
          Pajooh, a journalist for reformist publications, including Etemad-e Melli newspaper, was arrested on 22 August
          and has been in detention in Tehran's Evin Prison
          The journalist, who has a serious ulcer condition, went on a hunger strike to protest against her continued
          imprisonment.
          A family member who visited her in prison yesterday told Reporters Without Borders: “She is very weak and can
          no longer bear her prison conditions.
          Her lawyer, Nemat Ahmadi, has told the Paris-based press freedom organization that he has not been able to
          see his client.
          Charges against Pajooh have not been officially announced.
