Mia Farrow Hunger Strike Ends (Day 12)
Mia Farrow has ended her water-only fast after doctors warned that she was at risk for seizures and other health problems if she continued her hunger strike.
On April 27, the legendary 64-year-old actress began a 21-day hunger strike that she hoped would raise awareness about the plight of starving refugees in Dafar.
In an online message to fans on Friday, Mia wrote: “I have ended this fast.”
“I have been instructed by my doctor to stop my fast immediately due to health concerns – including possible seizures….I am fortunate. The women, children, and men I am fasting for do not have that option.”
But Mia isn’t done fighting. In fact, she’s passing the torch to British billionaire Richard Branson. Richard, who is the man behind the “Virgin” Empire, will fast for three days.
“When I began this fast twelve days ago. I hoped another would take my place, and another, and another, until the expelled humanitarian agencies are readmitted and finally there can be justice and peace for the people of Darfur. Richard Branson has stepped forward and so I have ended this fast.”
