Two hunger strikers were granted bail on Tuesday on grounds that their health was in serious danger, but the application of a third was rejected.

As well, the Criminal Court rejected the bail requests of eight other political detainees, whose release the hunger strikers have been seeking. It rejected four requests outright and ordered four other cases to be investigated, with probation officers to submit reports within 15 days.
