| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Looking a lot like time for a cookout. [Regnum] American 66-year-old activist of the Code Pink anti-war movement Leslie Angelin began a hunger strike demanding an end to hostilities in the Gaza Strip.
The woman took part in a protest in Washington, where she arrived from California. “The situation in the Gaza Strip is catastrophic, and I simply cannot sit and watch as the Palestinian civilian population is bombed, starved to death, deprived of clean water, food and electricity,” the activist said . It is planned that other Code Pink members may join Angeline. OK It is noted that in 2007 she went 23 days without food in protest against the idea of declaring war on Iran and in support of the Iran nuclear deal. As Regnum reported , on October 3, police arrested 89-year-old activist Joan Nicholson , who participated in a rally in the Capitol against aid to Ukraine. Along with her, 10 other picketers were arrested. The protesters demanded that the US authorities refuse to transfer weapons to Ukraine, which inflames the Ukrainian conflict even more. On October 4, Member of the US House of Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene met with Code Pink activists who were holding a rally against aid to Kiev . The parliamentarian wrote on her microblog that she and activists agreed that Congress “must stop inciting” hostilities in Ukraine. On October 18, protesters against the fighting in the Gaza Strip entered the US Congress building. They were later forced out of the complex by Capitol Police. About 300 people were detained.
