In Astrakhan, two hunger-strikers feel worse

Evgeniy Bukrimov and Igor Astafiev – participants of the termless political hunger strike in Astrakhan – have health problems: they were rendered medical aid.

Ambulance doctors diagnosed SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in Igor Astafiev, while Evgeniy Bukrimov had a dramatic rise of blood tension – up to 160/100.

Both hunger-strikers refused to go to hospital. Bukrimov went on his protest action; and Astafiev went home till until tomorrow, March 28, when he will decide whether to continue the hunger strike or to quit it because of his health condition.
