Exiled women, who have been fighting for their refugee status and official registration, called of the fasting-onto-death on Monday afternoon.
“We were compelled to bring our protest to an end,” Coordinator Durga Devi Bista told the Bhutan News Service. “The responses from the community was disheartening when the authority tried to intervene into hunger strike.”
According to Bista, the women arrived at a conclusion to call off the protest when the authority forcefully admitted them in different hospitals, stating that their health conditions deteriorated drastically.
We will now apply wait and see option from the government side to address our issue, added Bista.
