I think for once this is something that bears repeating as their own words are being lost in a morasse of claim and counter claim. It's notable that what they say is being ignored by many in favour of hostile supposition. For instance many asked "why not hungerstrike in a mosque" when there was a clear quote taken by Lorna Reid, Irish Independent in which the men said they chose the cathedral because Ireland was a Christian country.
It would be useful for those hostile to the men to listen to / read what they have to say above and then consider that Afghanistan is a very, very dangerous country right now. Probably one of the worst in the world. I can't believe that there is any question about them being sent back. This is one of the most egregiously simple cases imaginable.

He was keen for the UN to take interest in the issue, as they were a body who so often declare on issues re the ME.

He believes that the UNHCR did intervene in the Belgian cases.
He mentions other Afhgan refugees in centres/hostels in Sligo, Longford, Cork, Tralee, Waterford may come to support.
He begins to explain how when Pakistan was seperated that many Afghanis were on the wrong side of that line and this is where there is still conflict in Wazistan.
The asylum process had confusion over documents and mistakes with conversion between Islamic and Persian calenders so they asserted that their interview statements were incorrect and was a major issue, and that 2 of the men simply had not proper translation and the translators available could not understand the mens dialects.
The men come from up to 17 of 27 provinces of Afghanistan.
The war comes home eh?
The hunger-strikers wanted the UN to take an interest in their case. It has, and through its representative in Ireland it has made its position crystal clear.
Having sought the opinion of the UN, they should now heed its advice.
In all the gung-ho of the refugee-supporters groups to face down their bete-noire, McDowell, two things seem to have been forgotton:
1. Some of the people in this group (and the ones most likely to suffer long-term damage to their health by this action) are minors.
2. This group has chosen the one form of protest that the authorities of this state have never succumbed to and which has always, in the many times it has been tried by Republican groups and others, failed utterly.
The Irish supporters of this group MUST use whatever influence they have with the strikers to stop this action before a tragedy happens. They must encourage the strikers to re-engage with the asylum-process, or where there are grounds, challenge their refusal of status through the courts.
