On day two of “Indefinite Fast for Tibet without Food and Water”, all hunger strikers woke up with great spirit. A memorandum to the International Olympic Committee was submitted through the Office of National Olympic Association of India. The 130 support hunger strikers from Bylakuppe and Mundgod who are here to support the “Indefinite Fast for Tibet – without food and water” took part in a protest rally and offered prayers at the venue of “Indefinite Fast for Tibet – without food and water”. Some support hunger strikers also went to distribute flyers and poster-pasting around well known areas of the city. The police detained some of the monk activists and were later released at Jantar Mantar. A candle light vigil was held in the evening at the venue of the “Indefinite Fast for Tibet – without food and water” to conclude the day.



On day three, all support hunger strikers went to the United Nations Information Centre, New Delhi, to appeal for their support to meet the demands of the six hunger strikers. The monk activists were detained by police and later released. A steady flow of visitors poured   in to show their solidarity with the hunger strikers including former TYC President and Member of Tibetan Parliament Tsetan Norbu and other members of Tibetan Parliament.  In the evening, a candle light vigil was held at Majnu-Ka-Tilla by Regional Tibetan Youth Congress of Delhi Samyeling (Majnu-Ka-Tilla) where TYC President Tsewang Rigzin spoke about the dire situation inside Tibet and importance of people’s involvement and support for our movement. He also stressed the need of all Tibetans to perform their duty for our country at this critical time in our history and join hands with Tibetans inside so we all could be united soon in an Independent Tibet.

On day four, memorandums were submitted to the office of Prime Minister of India and United Nations Information Centre requesting their support to meet the demands of the hunger strikers. Even under heavy rain and completely drenched, the support hunger strikers held a protest rally at Jantar Mantar shouting slogans echoing the call from Tibetans inside Tibet for “Independence for Tibet”, “Long Live the Dalai Lama” and “Release Panchen Lama”. The heavy rain also forced the hunger strikers to shift their bed due to water leakage. But the spirit and the determination of the hunger strikers and support hunger strikers are as strong as ever. Some visitors also stopped by to offer scarves to the hunger strikers and show their solidarity.
