RSR: Dismissed computer scientist ends hunger strike

 
The computer scientist dismissed by Radio Suisse Romande in connection with a case involving child pornography has ended his hunger strike. His action was an attempt to reverse what he considered to be an unjust dismissal (see: ). He ended his hunger strike on Monday evening, the computer scientist told the SDA news agency on Wednesday. Just a few days ago, he had threatened to starve himself to death if the radio did not revoke his dismissal. The man went on to say that the advice of his new legal representative had persuaded him to make the decision. His lawyer had been the first to advise him to take legal action against the dismissal. He now intends to do the same. RSR is pleased with this decision.
