Hunger Strike

A number of foreign inmates are on hunger strike in some immigration facilities. They are detained in the facilities due to being in this country illegally and other reasons. 
An inmate from Iran in his 60’s said that doing a hunger strike was his last resort. His weight decreased from 83 kilograms to 75 kilograms in these two months. 
Immigration authorities cannot avoid saving their lives, so a two-week-release was given to the inmates. They were released but they resumed their strike again in the facilities when they returned to the facilities. Keeping illegal immigrants in the facilities is prolonged because they refuse to be deported or their home countries refuse to accept them. I think this problem would be more serious as the Japanese government loosened regulations for foreign workers to stay in Japan.
