OLIVIER DUPUIS REACHES THE 33ND DAY OF HIS HUNGER STRIKE. MESSAGE OF SUPPORT FROM THE 'FORUM ASIE-DEMOCRATIE' AND FROM ITS PRESIDENT VO VAN AI:
"The Forum Asie Démocratie gives its firm backing to the MEP Olivier Dupuis of the Transnational Radical Party, who has been on hunger strike since 18 January 2004 in order "to be close to the hundreds of thousands of Chechens abandoned to a tragic fate, the victims since 1994 of what amounts to nothing less than genocide", on the occasion of the celebration on 23 February of the 60th anniversary of another Chechen genocide, in 1944, when a third of the Chechen people died during the deportations to Central Asia ordered by Stalin. This hunger strike is also an appeal to the juridical obligations of the European Union with regard to the protection of human rights."
Statement by Vo Van Ai, Chairman of the Action Committee for Democracy in Vietnam:
"The battle that Olivier Dupuis has always fought for the Chechen people is of great importance to us, because too often the countries of Europe forget that they are obliged by their own laws to promote human rights and democracy, and that they possess a whole juridical arsenal not to make themselves the accomplices of dictators and mass murderers."
