Wives of prisoners of opinion in Ivory Coast started a hunger strike Monday in front of Cathedrale Saint Andre, urging the government to free their spouses after "nearly" four years of incarceration without any formal charges brought against them.
The protesters began gathering early Monday morning at Yopougon's main Cathedral, complaining that 400 political prisoners who remain imprisoned without trial, do not even know the charges against them.
"we have no other way when facing a broken government and a dictatorship , but to let go our bodily desires", said some of the protesters interviewed by the local opposition media.
