Indian Activist on Hunger Strike for 20 Days Taken to Hospital Indian activist Suresh Ramya was taken into custody and rushed to hospital on Wednesday after being on a hunger strike for 20 days.
Ramya, a vocal advocate for marginalized communities in India's rural areas, began her protest two weeks ago, demanding the immediate release of arrested farmers and an end to what she terms "atrocious" police brutality.
Background of the Protest The arrest of several prominent farmers earlier this month has sparked widespread outrage, with many accusing the authorities of harassing dissenting voices.
