Ulitzer95 12,585 Posted November 9, 2021 He suggested today that he’s about to give it up in the next couple of days because he doesn’t want it to impact his health. Sensible decision. He’s done well and he got a lot of media attention to the cause, which I suppose was the key aim. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These people are so middle class it's painful. Doubt they'd last 5 days on a hunger strike. Then again, considering they likely live on a diet of rabbit food most days, not eating anything won't seem too dissimilar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,702 Posted August 26, 2022 89 or 92-year-old Sikh activist Surat Singh Khalsa who has been on an (on-off?) hunger strike for seven (!!!!) years visited by some guy. He's fed through tubes. Not sure what's old news and what's new but he actually looks decent in the pictures, but apparently hasn't taken food since January 2015. He looked very frail back then.

This has gotten quite interesting: First, a week ago some group said they want him to attend a protest. Then two days ago they tried to forcefully discharge him from the hospital saying he's detained there, but were apparently stopped by police. Now they're protesting to get him discharged, and a police commissioner says: We have received the request for Khalsa’s discharge and he is being medically examined daily. He was admitted to the hospital eight years ago and once his reports are all okay, he will be discharged. We are not keeping him forcefully inside the hospital. What are the chances they're forced to discharge him in some horrible state and he'll die a few days later? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
