New Delhi - Six Tibetan activists entered the second week of a hunger strike in New Delhi to protest the upcoming Beijing Olympics and "occupation" of Tibet by China, a spokesman said Monday.
The activists from the Tibetan Youth Congress staged their protest at the capital's Jantar Mantar area in the central business district of Connaught Place.
"The hunger strike has entered its eighth day today," the group's vice president, Dhondup Dorjee Shokda, said. "Their health has deteriorated rapidly as they have lost over 11 kilograms on an average."
He said the activists had so far resisted pleas by local police to take them to hospital.
