The hunger strikers, who have all been in hospital
since Friday night, last night also began refusing
liquids.
This dramatic escalation in their protest was in
response to a denial of their rights, especially since
their admission to hospital.
Their demands illustrate their desperate situation:
* contact with their lawyer.
* to be allowed to make phone calls.
* privacy when using the toilet.

They are there for us. We are here for them.

Latest information:
When lawywers for the hungerstrikers arrived at the
hospital they were surrounded and threatened by armed
police who prevented them from entering the prison,
dispite previous assurances from the director of the
prison that they would be allowed in.
There have also been persistant rumours that the
hungerstrikers will be split up and sent to seperate
prisons some miles away. In their presant condition,
after several weeks without food, any journey could be
dangerous.
