Latest Report on Afghan Hunger Strike: Day 3 - Tuesday

category dublin | racism & migration related issues | news report author Tuesday May 16, 2006 14:30author by Madam K Report this post to the editors

There are around 70-80 people presently outside the Cathedral in support of the men ( Revolt Video Pics going up asap on new thread)

A Group of students from the school across the road have joined in and there is lively chanting outside the Cathedrals front e.

Three men from Afghanistan living in Waterford have joined the protest, and have been refusing food/water from yesterday. Presently two are outside the Cathedral and I believe one has gained access. That makes 44 people on the Hunger/Thirst strike now

Latest news from the Hospital is that Abdul and Sultan are in a stable condition, some men inside are weakening and ambulances are on standby

Joe Higgins TD, Jerry Crolly TD and A. OSnoddaigh TD are present at the Cathedral although as of yet have not gained admission. There are also people from RAR, Revolt Video, Unmanageables, Socialist Party, Sinn Fein, AWI, AY, WSM, IAWM, WV and SWP attending and plenty of unaligned!
