Hunger Strike Occupied Ireland

Liam Hannaway a traditional Irish republican, from a well-known west
Belfast republican family, who is a relative of Sinn Fein leader Gerry
Adams has ended his 42 day hunger strike in occupied Ireland. The
40-year-old Irishman was moved to the health care unit at Maghaberry
on Monday night. He was protesting at being a vulnerable prisoner in a
unit with loyalist criminals and being in solitary confinement on 24
hour lock up at Maghaberry Prison, rather than being on a wing with
his comrades. He ended his hunger strike shortly after 1900 . It is
not yet clear if he will be moved to the republican wing after
receiving medical treatment.

Meanwhile, conditions in the republican wing of the prison where
Hannaway's family say he wants to be moved to, are now under
investigation after complaints and protests by prisoners. In a
statement, Prisoner Ombudsman Pauline McCabe said she was
investigating complaints from a number of prisoners and hoped to
produce a report within a few weeks.A Sinn Fein delegation led by
Martin McGuinness and Raymond McCartney discussed the situation at
Maghaberry Prison with Justice Minister of British occupied Ireland,
David Ford yesterday.
