Asylum seeker with sewn mouth ‘very weak’

FRIENDS of an Iranian asylum seeker who has sewn his mouth shut were last night pleading with him to end his hunger strike.

Adnan Hassan Mohamedi has not eaten in nine days and has threatened to sew his nostrils closed to prevent any attempts to force feed him.

Rosanna Flynn of Residents Against Racism said the man, who is in his late 20s, is not expected to stay conscious for very long.
