Hunger
Description
Description
In Belfast’s infamous Maze prison, IRA inmates are refusing to wear standard prison-issue uniforms as a protest against Britain’s refusal to recognise them as political prisoners, a move that is complicating their efforts to pass information among the other prisoners. As the protest fails to get results, one IRA member behind bars, Bobby Sands, decides to take a different tack and begins a hunger strike, refusing to eat until officials are willing to acknowledge the IRA as a legitimate political organisation.
