A group of Eelam Tamil refugees and a Malaysian citizen have commenced a hunger strike, after being quarantined and charged with a range of offences at a refugee camp in Tiruchirapalli, India.
The group of 26 people, which includes 25 refugees who have fled from Sri Lanka and a Malaysian citizen, are being charged with illegal entry into India and for being associated with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a banned organisation in the country.
The hunger strikers have called for the cases against them to be completed as soon as possible.
