Spain: Nobel Peace Prize nominee will fast until “death” if necessary

The independent Saharawi activist, Aminatou Haidar, Monday reached the 23rd day of her hunger strike at the Lanzarote airport in the Canary Islands. She is asking for her right to return to Western Sahara. Interviewed by ABC, her companion Bashir Lekhfawni said Miss Haidar, a former Nobel Peace Prize nominee, will fast to “death” if she has to. “What we do not know is whether she will return back in a coffin,” Bashir Lekhfawni continued.
