her demands are simple, and humanitarian. that the government publicly demand an end to the blockade of gaza, announce an end to arms sales to israel, and press for an international tribunal into israeli war crimes



she has survived the recent sub-zero snow storms and continues to stay without food in parliament square, delivering a petition each day to downing street, and standing outside the cabinet meetings on tuesdays with her hunger strike banner for the politicians to see.



her 'vigil for gaza' SOCPA authorisation allows up to 20,000 to join her at any time in parliament square 24/7 to protest about gaza. she continues to collect signatures every day in the square for her petitions
