Protestors in Mongolia officially stops hunger strike

Demonstrators protesting a variety of government policies said Thursday they have stopped a hunger strike now that their representatives and Parliament have reached agreement.

The agreement covered nine issues, including the implementation of election promises, G. Uyanga, general coordinator of the demonstrators, said at a press conference.

"We will not stop fighting, although we will choose a more peaceful way to fight," Uyanga said, "If Parliament does not implement these agreements, we will demand the parliament to conduct a national referendum."

The hunger strike began April 7 and continued for 14 days. About 40 people participated in the strike.
