From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1972 Belfast hunger strike was a five-week long hunger strike of Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Protestant prisoners to achieve political status. This took place from April to June 1972. After the Home Secretary William Whitelaw promised the political status to stop the strike, the IRA announced they would end the strike.[1][2][3]
