TOKYO - Mr Vincent Fichot, a 39-year-old French banker, has not eaten a single bite for two weeks.
Camped on a yoga mat outside the Tokyo Olympic Stadium, the permanent resident of Japan has been surviving only on sips of water since July 10, while a brutal heat wave engulfs Tokyo.
His hunger strike is a desperate last resort attempt to call attention to the traumatic predicament of parents whose children have been abducted by their Japanese spouses.
Mr Fichot has not seen nor heard from his two children - Tsubasa, now six, and Kaede, now three - since his wife, whom he married in 2009, disappeared in August 2018.
