According to reports, Mehdi Karroubi, who is 79yrs, stopped eating and drinking on Wednesday to press for a public trial and the removal from his home of intelligence ministry agents.
He was admitted yesterday to the hospital with high blood pressure. His son later announced that he had ended the strike after the withdrawal of the agents from his house.
Mehdi Karroubi and fellow reformist Mir Mousavi, were candidates in Iran's disputed presidential election in 2009, which was won by the hardline incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
