A representative for the protesters, Filip Lacic, told Hina that
auxiliary Zagreb bishop Josip Mrzljak today visited around sixty
protesters. After a joint prayer, he appealed to six protesters to
end their hunger strike.
Twelve protesters began a hunger strike on March 26, however, five
have discontinued it following doctor's advice, while one withdrew
due to illness in his family.
Lacic claims that the condition of the six remaining hunger
strikers is difficult.
