The Guinness Book of Records lists the world record in hunger strike (without forced feeding) as 94 days, which was set from August 11 to November 12, 1920 by John and Peter Crowley, Thomas Donovan, Michael Burke, Michael O'Reilly, Christopher Upton, John Power, Joseph Kenny and Seán Hennessy at the prison of Cork. Arthur Griffith called off the strikes after the deaths of MacSwiney, Murphy and Fitzgerald.

Humans can only last 2 weeks without food and 3 days without water, I think.

In Italy we have the leader of the Radical Party, Marco Pannella, who goes on long hunger strikes every now and then (quite often, in fact!), in order to protest about things he is not happy about.... I believe he resisted quite long, but I am not sure he won any world records...

Why you all forget about BOBY SAND ( my spelling his name may be wrong ) of Ireland. He died in Hungur strick after 54 days. ( so far I can remember and may be in 1972 or 1973 ). Anyone knows about it, may correct it.
