Tapachula, Sep 13 (EFE) .- Activists and migrants began a hunger strike Monday in the municipality of Tapachula, in the southeastern Mexican state of Chiapas, to demand that they be allowed to leave in a caravan to the north of the country. This act of protest is carried out to pressure authorities so that thousands of migrants in the south of the country can leave the following day after several caravans were dismantled in harsh operations in recent weeks .

Brussels, Jul 8 (EFE) .- (Camera: Leo Rodríguez) The United Nation's special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Olivier De Schutter, visited a central church in Brussels on Thursday, where some two hundred undocumented immigrants add up to almost 50 days on hunger strike to demand their regularization and whose health, in many cases, is a concern. FOOTAGE OF THE CHURCH AND THE MIGRANTS.SOUNDBITES OF OLIVIER DE SCHUTTER (UN SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON EXTREME POVERTY AND HUMAN RIGHTS-QUOTES IN ENGLISH), AHMED (UNION OF IMMIGRANTS UNDOCUMENTED BY REGULARIZATION), MOHAMED (OCCUPANT AND STRIKER) AND FATHER DANIEL (QUOTES IN ENGLISH).Translation:Ahmed:2.- The state of the strikers is dire, regrettable and macabre. Most of them have signs of weakening, post-traumatic symptoms, symptoms of seizures, of kidney infections. There are even those who suffered heart attacks. The situation is deplorable.3.- It stubbornly clings to a case by case, which is not an encouraging sign because case by case is not based on a legal framework and is not based on fair, objective and permanent criteria. So it reflects the arbitrariness of the evaluation, the arbitrariness of the responses and the arbitrariness of the handling of cases.Mohamed:4.- There were many heart attacks, kidney infections, loss of weight of muscle mass over 15 per cent that was reported and seen by a Red Cross doctor ... It is becoming something worrying and alarming.5.- The undocumented person has always put health and body at risk because it is the only tool and it is his only survival tool. Our body was already weakened before starting this hunger strike.6.- Given the state of health of the strikers, of course there is concern, of course. It is degrading day after day. We hope that there will be a solution in the next few days and that we will not experience a drama since that is not the objective.
