A hunger strike is a method of non-violent resistance in which participants voluntarily fast as an act of political protest, or to provoke guilt in others, usually with the objective to achieve a specific goal, such as a policy change. Most hunger strikers will take liquids but not solid food. The striker will often take vitamins and electrolytes to ensure that sufficient nutrients are maintained.
In cases where an entity (usually the state) has or is able to obtain custody of the hunger striker (such as a prisoner), the hunger strike is often terminated by the custodial entity through the use of force-feeding.
