Hunger Strike History URL: http://www.codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=1025 Description: "Hunger strikes have been used to change policy and social wrongs for hundreds of years. In early Ireland, where the tradition originated, hunger strikes were actually encoded in civic law." This site provides a brief overview of "some of the most famous, most effective, hunger strikes," including Mahatma Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, and U.S. suffragettes in the early 20th century.
