In the sixteenth day of his hunger strike, Bulluch has been suffering from dizziness, blurred vision, and stomach pain. When visitors left him yesterday warders locked him in a broom cupboard for several hours. This morning he passed out in the visiting room and guards stood by laughing before carrying him away on a stretcher.

Balluch's lawyer has been shown excerpts from a police surveillance dossier of several thousand pages concerning minor acts of vandalism against fur shops and food establishments perpetrated by unknown persons over recent years - incidents of windows broken, stink bombs set off and locks glued. In no instance were people hurt or attacked and no evidence linking the vandalism with the detainees has been offered.

Traxler says the police action is obviously politically motivated. Animal rights campaigners staged protests yesterday at Austrian embassies in London and two dozen other cities on three continents. Tomorrow Judge Toifle Goster will decide whether to extend the detentions.
