The head of the Digora District Committee of the "Communists of Russia" Party has explained his decision to stop his hunger strike against the removal of his party from the elections in North Ossetia by the need to work. The two remaining women hunger-strikers informed the "Caucasian Knot" about the deterioration of their health.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the "Communists of Russia" are holding an unlimited political hunger strike against the court ruling to remove the party from North-Ossetian parliamentary elections.

On August 27, Kazbek Msoev, First Secretary of the Digora District Committee of "Communists of Russia", stopped his hunger strike and himself told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent about it today.

According to his story, he has "a lot of things to do in the district," since the party work does not stop before the elections.

Two other participants of the action – Leyla Magkeeva, a member of the republic’s committee, and Angela Gutsaeva, a candidate for deputies from the "Communists of Russia" – are still continuing their protest hunger strike, despite strong weakness and dizziness.
