(The hunger strike has now been called off as the telecoms company has agreed to talks.) In support of their cause, Professor Olle Johannson wrote this interesting letter outlining the position for those who are electrosensitive in Sweden where the condition is recognised as a 'functional impairment'. Useful video presenatations on various aspects of eletromagnetic radiation are to be found on the IEMFA (International EMF Alliance) website here.
