Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6At least 60 afghan refugees are continuing the hunger strike in front of the Cathedral of Oslo.
The norwegian government has threatened to stop violently the refugees' hunger strike for sanitary reasons, since they only had one toilet in the open air where the hungerstrikers stay. The refugees were determined to go on with their protests, and the government did not proceed with any violent actions yet.

The strikers have said they'd rather die in Norway than be sent back to the uncertainty and dangers of life in Afghanistan.
At five o'clock yesterday morning the police raided the camp of the hungerstrikers, tearing down all their tents and stole all the blankets and sleeping bags. The hungerstrike continues.
The norwegian gouvernment have five hundred troops occupying Afghanistan, destroying the country. And the gouvernment refuse to help the victims. It's totally sickening.
Here's a movie about what happened yesterday morning. Some of it is in norwegian, but most in english. U can watch it at: http://spisderike.net/video/40/
My name is Ahmad Ali, an Afghan asylum-seeker living in japan.There is a very small group of Afghan asylum-seekers,probably less than 20 people here in Japan.Japan has also a very tough and strict policy against asylum-seekers,and in the past few years they detained most of the asylum-seekers arbitrarely, and that caused the asylum-seekers to return their home against their wishes,and there is no news if what happened to those who were returned,probably some were detained in Afghanistan,some killed and some left the country once again.
We seriously condemn the wrong and unfair desicion of Norwegian government for forcible deportation of Afghan asylum-seekers.
We sincerely request UNHCR,human rights organaizations,Norwegian people to ask the Norwegian government to change their mind,and give value to the lives of hundreds of human beings, and not deport them against their willings.
We also hope japan would change its tough and inhuman policy and give residence and protection to these small number of helpless asylum-seekers in Japan.
