The Hunger Strike for Recognition of Our Status as Political Prisoners

The regime had been hiding and denying for decades that they held political prisoners. After a certain point in our hunger strike, once we'd wasted away a bit, the guard started to force feed us per prison regulations. They would push the pipe down your throat and deep into your stomach using a funnel. The moment after someone took the cup and drank from it, they were immediately informed that the taking a sip on their own meant the hunger strike was over.
