Latest list of hunger strikers around the world

How the dates on the list work: One day fasts start and end on the same day. Indefinite means we do not yet know on what day the hunger striker will end her/his fast.

If we have left you out, please email us and we will correct the deficiency. Coming shortly, an automated facility for registering and displaying details.

If you want to join in the action, please email us have your name, occupation, your village, town or city, region and country. Also the dates on which you will begin and end your fast. Do not fast if it would endanger your health. Look here for information about fasting.

If you would like to add a statement about why you are fasting, or something about yourself, your life, your views and beliefs, we will link to it from your name. Same goes for those whose name already appear.

If you can, please add biographical info and pictures. We would like to do a gallery of all those who have joined the hunger strike.

Email us your details and queries.

A big thank you to every single person whose name appears below, and to all those fasting around the world whose names we don't have. You inspire us, you make a big difference.
