William Johnston Back on Hunger Strike
Brighton ABC | 17.03.2009 11:50
A while ago we were asking people to write letters of complaint on behalf of William Johnston. He was on hunger strike for nearly two months before the medical staff at Glenochil prison would give him painkillers, that had been prescribed to him for life by his GP, for a crippling spinal condition.

We have just been told that William has been taken off his painkillers without seeing a doctor and has again been on hunger strike since the 10th of March. We are asking that people please write letters of complaint. It was the outside attention that saved him last time, but his body will be weakened still from his previous hunger strike where his weight got to only 6 stone, so we need to act quickly.
Please send letters and cards of support to:
