Soheil Arabi, who faces the death penalty for posts he shared on Facebook, has written a willl and said goodbye to his family after going on hunger strike. 

Seven days ago, Arabi started another hunger strike. On September 28, he wrote to his wife and daughter, telling them goodbye. 

"So long, life... 

My dear Nastaran [Arabi’s wife], believe me that I did what I could to build a new life, but... 

Please tell Rojana [his daughter] that her father was jailed because of his ideas.

I loved you both and now that I am writing my will, I have no wealth to leave to you. Please forgive me that I am leaving you alone. But I’ve been in prison for 1,388 days and the last eight days have been intolerable."
