Today, the Christmas Day, is the 26th day after the fuel protest leader Ko Htin Kyaw started the hunger strike since the end of November, demanding the release of all the political prisoners. His wife, Ma Than Than Maw, who went to visit him in his solitary confinement said he looked very weak. 'He only spoke in whisper but sent message to the public that he is doing well, due to all the love, concern and prayers he received from them', she said. Ko Htin Kyaw is expected to appear in court hearing tomorrow, either in Insein prison or Panbedan magistrate court.

'My protest, which I am carrying out for the benefit of the public, is nothing, compared with those who gave up lives during the crack down', he said. Two other people; Ko Myo Thant and Ko Zin Lin Aung, who have also been on hunger strike in Insein prison, are also in the isolation cells.
