A woman known as the “Sahrawi Ghandi” is currently on hunger strike in Lanzarote airport.
Aminatou Haidar, a well-known campaigner for the rights of the Sahrawi people, travelled to New York last month to collect the Civil Courage Prize, awarded each year for “steadfast resistance to evil at great personal risk”.
However, on attempting to return to the Western Sahara four days ago, Moroccan authorities turned her back, forcing her to return to Lanzarote airport.
Ms Haidar said she now considers herself a “hostage” in Spain and has been on hunger strike for three days no. She said: “I am prepared to go on until I die.”

There are big posters telling of her plight and also a board to sign for support...there must be a reason why she can not rightfully get home and it will most likely be a visa, I see no reason for the hunger strike, she should of followed rules and regulations especially in this day and age!
