Ten minutes ago the Six Day Scherger Detention Centre Hunger Strike by up to 100 Hazara folk ended.
They just called to explain that 'Canberra Officials' arrived to speak to them and ultimately promise them some hope and that they will ensure reviews and 'speed up the process'.
The Hazara folk decided that for now they will trust them and trust in Canberra's promises. Let us hope!
Some have been there for 18 and 20 months.
Gerry Georgatos.
Our Hazara folk at Scherger have said to me that they will resume hunger strikes if they have been deceived. Please scroll down:

Dear Friends, tell everyone to be strong however to seek medical help if ill, if sick, and to drink water all the time. I respect that you have to protest and hunger strike and you have the support of many but please do not put your health at risk. It is wrong that there are 53 rejections of Hazara people at Scherger and we are ashamed for our country but we hope that things may change. I am letting the whole world know that you are on your 6th day of of hunger strike, that it started last Thursday 10am.
Write to me often. Take care of those who are ill. The people who fell unconscious are they now okay? Do they have medical help? Are they in the medical clinic?
Write to me and I keep my mobile phone with me all the time so if you call I will answer straight away.
There are more and more journalists who care, and more and more people who understand.
Call me always and stay strong and take care of each other. Gerry - 0430657309.
