Reshitov Dilyaver - crimean news -
From May,16, 2009 the repressions began against the strikers. In the evening, at about 17 oclock, the weak participants of action opened out their sleeping-bags and lay down on earth. Police immediately interfered, demanding to displace the air-beds and sleeping-bags, and requiring to conduct the hunger-strike just standing or sitting. Threats to apply force or to call the evacuator were pronounced. Fortunately to the hunger-strikers, at that time the correspondent of the Turkish television came up with a camera and began to take off what is going on. Few minutes later the correspondent of RIA «News» drove up. Due to the presence of press, police did not use force, but insisted on displacing the lying places. For the refuse of the protesters to get up, police have called an ambulance, allegedly for the physical examination of the strikers. The paramedics without thorough examination offered to sigh the refusal from hospitalizing. On getting a negative answer to sign such a statement, doctors have left.
Negotiations with police proceeded for more than two hours. Finally, at about 19 oclock, the mutual understanding was attained and the participants got the permission to rest lying.
Nevertheless, on May, 17, 2009, at 5 oclock a.m., the policemen came up to the hunger-strikers again with a demand to displace all lying places by 6 oclock a.m. and continue the hunger-strike standing or sitting. The participants of action were to submit and displace their lying places.
