Climate hunger striker expresses shock at being ignored by ministers | Climate crisis | The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/may/07/climate-hunger-striker-parliament-angus-roseAfter 37 days, as fears grew of long-term harm or even sudden death, and with no sign of a concession from ministers, he relented after Caroline Lucas, the Green MP, arranged a briefing for MPs through the all-party parliamentary group on climate change. Rose had originally asked for Vallance to do a televised briefing of cabinet rather than address a parliament committee, but said he was happy with the outcome.
By the end of his strike, he had lost 17kg and was having difficulty standing, but still protested outside parliament every day.
“Before I started the hunger strike, I thought my odds were, no, they wouldn’t let me die,” Rose said. “But … in spite of the warnings being that I had lost a significant percentage of my body weight, that left me in a very high-risk category.
“People in a state of starvation who lose more than 16% of the body mass encounter rapidly deteriorating health … and that’s what some health experts were saying: that I was at very high risk.”
