RTYC Darjeeling's President, Tashi came to visit the Hunger Strikers and brought along with him the message of support and solidarity from hundred and more students who belong to different nationalities. They send their appreciation and hopes from the hunger strike campaign. The gesture definitely lifted the spirit and the heart of all those who are with the Hunger Strikers.

They also submitted the appeal letters to the offices of the United Nations, European Union and embassies of several countries including France, Japan, Italy, Germany, Australia and Myanmar.
Media representatives visit the tent to hear more about our story and the reason for the Indefinite Hunger Strike. Lok Sabha Television( Parliament of India) interviewed Joint Secretary, Tenzing Norsang today regarding the Indefinite Hunger Strike and current situation inside Tibet.
Yet again, some Chinese observers were noticed watching the Hunger Strikers and the ongoings in the tent. On approaching them to ask about their identity and their purpose, they ran away from the site creating suspicion in the minds of the activists.
People make a nation, and people make changes happen. Likewise, TYC Indefinite Hunger Strike has dedicated and persuasive Tibetans and Indians who contribute their time and effort into the cause of Tibet without any hitches. Most of them are not first timers in working on TYC campaigns of this kind, they have been doing it for quite a long time. Like the TYC Central Executive Committee, they are old-timers.
