BBC: Hunger strike protest planned

Supporters of three Kurdish asylum seekers on hunger strike are due to stage protests outside the Scottish parliament and the Home Office...

Friends of the men said they had recently agreed to take more fluids after being bolstered by "widespread support".

Their condition is described as "slightly improved" and "serious but comparatively stable".

Scottish National Party leader John Swinney, Scottish Socialist MSP Carolyn Leckie and general secretary of the STUC Bill Speirs, have all voiced support.
