Dozens of foreign inmates imprisoned in Bulgarian jails are part of an expanding hunger strike to protest bad detention conditions and discrimination, the director of the country's prisoners said Tuesday. "The number of strikers has reached 37," Peter Vassilev told Bulgarian national radio of the protest, which began on April 29 with 21 inmates refusing food. The prisoners say they are trying to obtain the same rights as Bulgarian prisoners with regard to early release, while some want to serve out the rest of their sentences in their home countries and complain about a slow transfer procedure. But Vassilev said there was no difference between the release conditions fpr foreign prisoners and Bulgarian inmates. In an open letter to the Bulgarian authorities and the media, published by the Novinar daily, the foreign inmates also complain about bad prison conditions. "According to the strikers two of the inmates have already been taken to hospital due to worsening health," Novinar reported, and also said 44 out of the 180 foreign inmates in the prison were refusing food. But Vassilev said no one has been hosptalised. "All the strikers are under constant medical observation and will be force-fed if necessary," he added. Among the hunger-striking prisoners are four Turks, four Albanians, three Macedonians, two Romanians, two Serbians, an Armenian, a Russian, a Nigerian, a Moldovan and a Ukrainian, serving sentences for drug trafficking, murder, and theft, Novinar reported.
