Two of the seven members of the Managing Council of Gal Undesten Union began a hunger strike in detention six days ago and from today they have stopped drinking any fluid also. The condition of the movement’s Law Advisor, G.Dashdemberel, is as yet stable but that of Ts.Enkhbayar is causing concern. They are protesting against the decision of the court to detain the seven.

Members of Gal Undesten and some other civil movements yesterday sent a joint note to the Sukhbaatar District Court demanding the release of the seven before July 10. All of them were arrested 10 days ago and have been held without charge since then. The Secretary of the court accepted the note and said a reply would be sent according to law.
