In the last 23 days of the chain hunger strike in front of the United Nations, many people have voiced concern and sympathy for the Tibetan cause. Although there has been some coverage in the media, there has been no response from the U.N. Secretary-General or from the member countries. Therefore, it has become necessary to intensify our efforts as the 50th anniversary celebrations draw nearer. On the evening of October 13th, the hunger strike organizers will publicly disclose the details of the next phase of the movement.
