John Demjanjuk, on trial for aiding in the murder of 27,900 Jews during World War II, said he will go on hunger strike unless the judges in a Munich court hear more evidence in his defense.
In his third personal statement to the court during the 14-month trial, Demjanjuk, 90, today said the court is acting illegally by refusing to retrieve documents from Russia as requested by his lawyers. Ulrich Busch, his attorney, read the statement before filing dozens of motions.
