Brown University Students End Hunger Strike, Will Continue to Demand Divestment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Providence, Rhode Island, Brown University students ended an
eight-day hunger strike demanding Brown divest from companies supplying
Israel with military equipment. The students say they will continue
fighting for divestment and for Palestinian rights. In November, a
Palestinian American student at Brown, Hisham Awartani, was left
paralyzed after being shot along with two friends in Burlington,
Vermont.
