Four student hunger strikers in coma

SURABAYA: At least four of 13 students on a four-day hunger
strike at Trunojoyo University (Unijoyo) on Madura island,
protesting a planned nuclear power plant, lost consciousness on
Monday.

East Java's Muhammadiyah Student Association (IMM) chairman
Syafrudin Budiman, who visited them, said others in the group
would do likewise in the next few days.

The four included a female student, who along with the 12
other strikers started the protest on April 22 by abstaining from
all food, but making an exception with tea. They have refused
medical treatment as well. --JP
