Kyrgyz inmates sew lips together in prison protest

http://www.euronews.net/ More than 1,300 prisoners are said to have sewn their lips together with nearly 7,000 on hunger strike. Shock images of the protest have come from Kyrgyzstan amid a growing revolt over poor conditions behind bars. Moves to force feed hunger strikers only intensified the movement. But despite detainees' claims of mistreatment and strict detention rules, authorities are not in the mood to compromise.
