Vahid Beheshti, from hunger strike to meeting Camila, the wife of the British king

“She asked me where I live,” he said. “I said, ‘King Charles Street for the past 70 days’. And then she said, “Now you are here!’ ” She understood where I was coming from. She understood [I am on hunger strike].” Mr. Beheshti said his doctor has warned him that going more than two months without eating has inflicted damage on his body that could be impossible to reverse. Despite the risks, he remains determined to continue his fast. The garden party took place as tens of thousands of royal fans began to descend on London ahead of the coronation on Saturday.
