Twenty two Kurdish people went on hunger strike on 25 August in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in northern Africa. They were protesting against refused permission to go to Madrid to make asylum applications on the grounds that they would be persecuted in Turkey if returned. On 28 August they accepted an offer by the Red Cross and the Franciscans to provide housing and sustenance but maintained their demand to make formal requests for asylum. see Statewatch vol 5 nos 3 & 4.
