As 16 detainees held without trial since 2001 under Malaysia's Internal Security Act (ISA) entered their third week of hunger strike, Amnesty International again called for all ISA detainees to be charged and given a fair trial, or else to be immediately released. As the health of the hunger strikers is reported to be deteriorating, Amnesty International urges the authorities to ensure that all the detainees receive appropriate medical care and be given regular access to independent doctors. www.amnestyusa.org /regions/asia/document.do?id=80256DD400782B8480256E58005E4F7E   (820 words)
