A '''hunger strike''' is a form of [[protest]], chiefly by [[prison]] inmates. In it, a prisoner, or a group of prisoners, deliberately starve themselves. In theory, their deaths by starvation would embarrass the wardens, the guards, and their bosses. They would also inflame the people they purport to represent. A hunger strike can also be a passive form of [[suicide]].

Hunger strikes have figured prominently in Western literature. The title character of ''The Count of Monte-Cristo'' went on hunger strike when he realized his appeals had come to nothing.

During "The Troubles" in [[Northern Ireland]], several [[Irish Republican Army]] members died on hunger strike.

More recently, a notorious [[Palestine|Palestinian]] [[terrorism|terrorist]] named Marwan Barghouti called for a hunger strike among his fellow terrorists. But in fact the last time he went on hunger strike, he cheated by eating when he thought no one would be looking. Video footage captured his cheats, however.<ref name=Pasko>Pasko AN, "Marwan Barghouti, don't cheat this time," ''Conservative News and Views'', 24 April 2017.
