TEHRAN, April 28 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Judiciary spokesman Alireza Jamshidi denied on Tuesday the reports that the U.S. reporter has gone on a hunger strike, the official IRNA news agency reported.

    Jamshidi refuted reports on detained journalist Roxana Saberi's hunger strike, saying she is in good health conditions, said IRNA.

    "Saberi's father had a meeting with her this week and gave her birthday gift," he said while addressing the reporters on Tuesday in Tehran.

    On Monday, Iran's daily Tehran Times reported that "Roxana Saberi in Tehran has reportedly gone on a hunger strike."

    Saberi, a 31-year-old freelance journalist, who reported for various news organizations including the BBC and U.S. National Public Radio (NPR), had been denied press credentials by Iranian authorities since 2006. However, she defied the ban and continued her journalistic activities.

    Saberi, who was born in the United States and who's father is an Iranian, was arrested in Iran in the second half of January 2009 on charges of espionage for the United States.

    Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi has asked the United States and the Europeans not to interfere with this case.

    The case of reporter Roxana Saberi is a strictly domestic matter, and other countries should end hyping the issue, Qashqavi said on Monday.

    But U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called on Iranians for a re-examination of the spy case against the Iranian-American journalist, saying that "We hope the actions will be taken as soon as possible by the authorities in Iran...to bring about the speedy release of Ms. Saberi and her return home (to the United States)."

    Iran's high-ranking officials have urged the country's judiciary to carry out a "fair" and "full" investigation into the case.

    On April 19, in a letter issued by Iranian President's office to Tehran's prosecutor, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked the judiciary to preserve justice in considering the accusations aimed at the convicted journalist.
