[B]Inmate's hunger strike raises political concern[/B]
It's the rare Santa Clara County inmate who merits a visit from a local politician. But headline-grabbing San Jose "freedom fighter" Ly Tong has been graced with the presence of two bigshots since his May 24 jailing for dousing a visiting Vietnamese singer with either pepper spray or a mixture of perfume and fish sauce to protest the country's communist government.
County Supervisor Dave Cortese was the latest to make the trek over to the Main Jail. San Jose City Councilman Kansen Chu went shortly after Tong was convicted.
What drew them was concern that Tong has been hunger-striking again to protest his incarceration -- and has apparently also stopped taking liquids. His supporters say the already thin 63-year-old has lost more than 27 pounds.
A jail spokesman confirmed that Tong is in the medical unit and being closely monitored. Jail authorities can legally force-feed him for about 16 days under a temporary conservatorship.
Tong went on a monthlong hunger strike in 2008 to get a strip of Vietnamese shops on Story Road named Little Saigon. He told Cortese he would drink some liquid after the supervisor pledged his support.
Cortese, a presumed San Jose mayoral candidate in 2014, wouldn't elaborate, citing the "legal process."
"We had a good conversation," Cortese said.
