Aquino Hunger Strike and Sacrament Request
Filipino Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. requests the sacrament of the sick as his monthlong hunger strike nears its end. He weighs 127 pounds, down 33 pounds, and remains detained since martial law began in 1972 while facing rebellion and murder charges. Archbishop Jaime Sin is cleared to visit. Aquino vows to continue protesting until Marcos lifts martial law and secures judiciary tenure and press freedom.
