Miners continue hunger strike in Komi
INTA. May 28 (Interfax-Northwest) - The union leaders of the miners at the Intinskaya mine in the Komi Republic
remain on a hunger strike for the fourth day demanding wages, a pay raise, and other social benefits.
The health of one of the strike participants, who is on a "dry" hunger strike, has significantly
deteriorated, a source close to the strike told Interfax on Friday.
On Wednesday, the strike participants met with the administration of the Inta Mining Company, which owns the mine,
but no agreement was reached. [RU EEU EUROPE ASIA EMRG ENR] av tj <>
