Never understood the concept of a hunger strike. Like the people you are protesting will buckle because they are concerned you will starve to death?
History.
Look up Mahatma Gandhi.
We fought two wars with England for our independence with many killed on both sides.
He did a hunger strike and accomplished the same thing.
Of course by the time he did it, faster communications and the media made it possible for the world to know about it.
Are we talking “Bobby Sands” here, or just basically skipping a meal here and there?
