Eaten Fish Ends Hunger Strike

1

CRNI can report that, after 19 days on hunger strike, Eaten Fish has decided to end his protest. He currently weighs 46 kg.

I m going to start eating just now and end the protest…
I wanted to protest and keep doing it but but hunger strike…

On its face the strike’s end is good news but it will have had a deleterious affect on Eaten Fish’s health and it is clear that his thoughts dwell on self-destruction. In an earlier Facebook message the cartoonist described feelings of fatigue and despair and once again made plain that the reason for his drastic action was the series of sexual assaults he says occurred during his time on Manus Island, claims that have been rejected and remain uninvestigated by the authorities.

Share these important words please… 🙏

I’ve seen the cartoons of those cartoonists and artists friends…
I see that…

We note that Eaten Fish has seen and taken comfort from some of the many cartoons that have been posted under the #AddAFish banner and we encourage that campaign to continue until there is a positive solution to this shameful blot on Australia’s human rights record.

With typical gallows humour, Eaten Fish suggests there’s an upside to being on hunger strike.
