In the early 1980s, a number of members of the Irish Republican Army incarcerated in Long Kesh went on a hunger strike to get the British government to recognize them as political prisoners and not as common criminals. Hunger striking has deep roots in Irish history and its use in Long Kesh revealed the deep misunderstanding of the prisoners' aims by the then prime minister of Britian, Margaret Thatcher.
