They say they will blow themselves up if threatened with arrest. Despite acute fears over the safety of patients and staff, no official action has been taken to defuse the situation.

Did they have hostages or are they just holed up with other prisoners?

If the latter, I'd remove the other patients from the building and then let them blow themselves up- with a bit of help, if needed.

It would be interesting to interview the Chinese one, though.
