HUNGER STRIKE
By Abdel Adam
Abdel is an asylum seeker. He is shocked to hear that some refugees who have been put into prison while their cases are reviewed in Britain have been going on hunger strike. To come from one oppressive situation to find yourself in another oppressive situation is very depressing. He implores the British authorities to give more thought to how they treat these people.
