Strikers: Berisha not to invent enemies

15/10/2012 19:30

The hunger strikers answered to Prime Minister Berisha through a
declaration, telling him to not invent enemies but to meet the former
political prisoners and fulfil their requests.

“When he doesn’t want to resolve the issues, he invents enemies. I appeal the Prime Minister to stop this and accept an urgent meeting”, one of the strikers declared.

The health of one of the strikers deteriorated this afternoon, and he refused to go to hospital, despite the doctors’ persistence.

“He’s not well. He has refused to go to the hospital. We will see if his situation will be improved or not”, one of the strikers declared.

For the first time, dozens of former political prisoners who had arrived from Shkoder gathered near the premises where the strike is being held to express their support to the strikers.

“We respect you and will offer our support until your sublime sacrifice will be resolved. On behalf of the fathers of the former political prisoners, I appeal the government to implement the law”, the daughter of one political prisoner declared.

The situation of the hunger strikers has deteriorated even due to the heavy rains during the night in the improvised tent.  

Tension rose today when the police refused to allow a former striker who left the tent to se his daughter in hospital.

The organizers warned for another strike, in another premise, with other strikers.
