On KPFK's Connect The Dots – 90.7 FM Radio Tomorrow Morning (Monday) from 7:00 to 8:00 AM Her Guests Will Be: S. Brian Willson: Talking about The Hunger Strike by Prisoners at Guantanamo & the Fast in Solidarity with Them S. Brian Willson Temporarily Suspends Hunger Strike On May 12th, 2013, S. Brian Willson began an open ended hunger strike on only 300 cal per day. This was in solidarity with the prisoners’ hunger strike in Guantánamo demanding closure of the barbaric torture facility. On Monday, June 3rd, while he was hand-cycling to the “Close Guantánamo” daily vigil in Portland, Oregon, he suffered a serious accident. Brian was hit by an SUV vehicle while stopped at a traffic light. He ended up severely bruised, lying on the road, with his severely damaged cycle on top of him. Fortunately, Brian’s partner Becky showed up soon, and he was taken home. On June 9th, Brian spent three hours at a hospital emergency room to get urgent blood tests. They showed that he has not recovered from serious, recent health issues which have now complicated his ability to heal from the recent accident. Given his medical situation, on June 10th Brian temporarily suspended his hunger strike after 28 days and after a loss of 24 pounds. He will continue to support the campaign to close Guantánamo and will consider rejoining the fast when he fully recovers. We send our gratitude and support to him.
