Stop State Repression against Anti-Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant Activists
APPEALS, KUDANKULAM ANTI-NUCLEAR SATYAGRAHA, INDIA, 7 May 2012

Tamil Nadu, India, 5 May 2012 – The indefinite hunger strike has been going on for the past 5 days. Some 25 men have been on the fast since May 1 and 302 women and 10 more men have joined the strike on May 4, 2012. More and more women are eager to join the indefinite hunger strike but because of logistical issues such as space, bedding and toilet facilities, we are not in a position to accommodate them all.
Many of the men have become very tired and are suffering from fatigue and nausea. Scores of women are suffering from severe headache this morning and some seem to be dehydrated because of the scorching summer heat. They need immediate medical advice and help.
