Several Shanghainese petitioners held a hunger strike on International Human Rights Day to give their support to their fellow activist, Feng Zhenghu (冯正虎). Feng has been living in Japan's Narita International Airport for over 30 days; he has been refused entry to China eight times without reason. He said that for Human Rights Day, he would "rest," and called on the international community to not only advocate but uphold the principle and practice of the protection of fundamental human rights.
