ST. PAUL, Minn. — A few hours after his conviction for a mosque boing three years ago, Michael Hari called the Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper to say he was beginning a hunger strike. Hari called the newspaper from jail. “I am protesting my sham trial by submitting to a trial by ordeal in the form of a hunger strike to prove my innocence and my sincerity,” Hari said, according to the newspaper. Hari said he intended to the strike as a gesture of support for people wrongly convicted of drug-related crimes, the newspaper reported. Hari’s affinity for drug issues wasn’t clear.
