Ly Tong and His Hunger Strike, Day 13


Ly Tong has stopped sending out his daily recorded message to his friends and families.   This is his 13th day without food and water.   Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese visited Ly Tong yesterday.  

His supporter gathered in front of City Hall to show support over the weekend.   City Councilmember Kansen Chu also visited Ly Tong earlier in the week.  He reported that Ly Tong is weak, his lips are turning purple and black and he lost a lot of weight already.
