BBC/ Four opposition congressmen joined a nearly 2-month hunger strike by 34 Mapuche prisoners, who are protesting anti-terrorist charges in a land dispute. Many of the Maouche prisoners have lost up to 18kg (40lb) each.
The four congressmen, Tucapel Jimenez, Hugo Gutierrez, Sergio Aguilo and Manuel Monsalve, are all members of the human rights commission in the lower house of parliament.
