Sunday 22 April - Southern Response Hunger Strike Update

The following can be attributed to Southern Response Hunger Striker, Peter Glasson:

“As the middle of day 6 of my hunger strike approaches, I feel no less resolve than when I started. Anne and I are continuing our negotiations with Southern Response and it would not be appropriate to make any further comment about that.

I am losing around 1kg a day and feeling pretty weak but I will continue for as long as it takes.  My determination is as strong now as it was when I started.

I have received massive public support and wish to thank everyone for that.  I have been saddened by all the similar stories I have heard from other people during my hunger strike but it is your encouragement and kind words that are helping me to keep going."

There will be no interview or further comment at this stage.
