Iranian asylum seeker enters 35th day of hunger strike

An Iranian asylum seeker who has been on hunger strike for 34 days, will not abandon his action because he fears he will be killed if deported, according to his room mate.

A rally was held in Sligo on Saturday to highlight the case of the man, amid calls to the minister for justice to intervene.

The man’s room mate says he is now so weak that he cannot stand up and his eyesight has been affected.
