\nDear all,<\/em><\/p>\n

The detainees decided to suspend their hunger strike temporarily.
\nThey had dinner on Friday, the 19th.
\nThey have decided two things 1) volunteers and detainees are going to negotiate with the center starting from Tuesday on March, 23rd.
\n2) if their demands are turned down, they will re-start the hunger strike.<\/p>\n

In the background of this, a member of a House of Councilors, Konno Azuma, questioned about the hunger strike to the Minister of Justice (Keiko Chiba) at a national assembly.
\nHe also referred to factual investigation.
\nMedia has picked up the story of the hunger strike, and it strongly influenced the center.
\nI thinks our society begins to have more understanding and recognition of how serious this issue is.
\nThis is the first time for the center to give in, and negotiate with detainees.<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

This is all for today.
\nI will be meeting some detainees and will update more on Tuesday.
\nThank you for your support, and wish us luck!<\/em><\/p>\n
