B. Suvdaa, a victim and hunger striker said, “We have one last hope to take a positive answer from the Prime Minister. On Tuesday we met with T. Bayasgalan, State Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Domestic Affairs. He said to us that at the present time the Prime Minister was absent. Bayasgalan said he would present our condition to the Prime Minister.”

“If the Prime Minister meets with us and will give us any helpful reply we will stop the hunger strike and won’t announce a dry hunger strike.”

B. Uranchimeg, another victim and hunger striker felt betrayed by a lack of support from human rights organizations who failed to lend their support.

“The representatives of the hunger strikers met with S. Tserendorj, Director of the National Human Right Commission. We hope that he would protect our human rights but after the meeting we are regretting it because he didn’t support our rights. Tserendorj replied that this issue should be discussed by court. He said that the commission is not supporting the hunger strike and the hunger strikers should keep their health.”

The National Human Rights Commission made a recommendation to the government that they should decide as soon as possible to help the victims.

“At the night from Tuesday to Wednesday four hunger strikers health condition worsted and all hunger strikers are feeling that their blood pressure has reduced dramatically. Some have lost consciousness, and have convulsions. Because all hunger strikers have basic sicknesses and.” said Suvdaa.

They refused to take any help from hospitals and doctors.

“If we take the just one treatment with a drip the doctors will not consider that we are hunger strikers,” a hunger striker who refused to give her name said Wednesday.

Over 160 victims of the savings and loan credit unions have sought asylum in the USA but were denied by the embassy in Mongolia, according to the information of the hunger strikers.

“We are considering that we are affected by financial calamities in our country. The Government and state appeared in this calamity. We have no conditions to live in our country,” Suvdaa said.

The US embassy in Mongolia told Moninfo, “We have no right to give any information to the public about asylum cases.”
