Lawyer: Savchenko to stop hunger strike ‘when it gets really horrible’

Captive Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko has explained when she may stop her hunger strike, her lawyer Marc Feigin wrote on Facebook. According to him, Savchenko has promised to stop ‘when it gets really horrible’.

Savchenko has been on a hunger strike for 81 days. She is protesting against her illegal arrest. The Russian authorities are refusing to change her measure of detention and do not admit the fact that the Ukrainian has the immunity of a PACE member.
