Simon Deng - Day 33
Today marks the 32nd day of Simon Aban Deng's hunger strike for South Sudan. Though Mr. Deng-a former child-slave turned competitive swimming champion in Sudan, now a human rights activist & New York City lifeguard supervisor-is growing weaker by the day, he remains resolute. Until President Obama and his administration signal an immediate shift in U.S. policy toward South Sudan, Simon will continue his fast.
