| Mmmm. Boy, this meatball sub is way too big. I couldn't possibly eat it all... |
The news of the hunger strike had been concealed for two days by the jail authorities. Jail Superintendent Muhammad Akbar Khan said the prisoners were demanding that they be kept in barracks with other prisoners and their fetters removed which was not possible as they were convicted terrorists and had to be kept in the condemned cells. The jail holds convicted terrorists of LJ Malik Ishaq, Ghulam Rasul, Muhammad Tufail and other dangerous prisoners.
