Cairo Hunger Strike Begins
Ten protesters in Tahrir Square began a hunger strike at 6PM on Sunday in response to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s refusal to relinquish power. Mubarak announced on Friday that although he had fired his cabinet, he intends to remain in power despite the continuing nationwide unrest that began last Tuesday. Millions of protesters have repeatedly demanded that Mubarak leave.
The protesters decided that one person would join the hunger strike every 15 minutes until Mubarak relinquishes power. The strikers raised banners that said, “We will strike until Mubarak goes.”
