Leeds students are staging an anti-war hunger strike
|
Dozens of students in Leeds are on hunger strike in the city to show their opposition to war with Iraq.
Many of the students have been camping in Dortmund Square from the early hours of Thursday following an anti-war march through the city centre.
And the two teenagers suspended from a school for organising a protest against military action in the Gulf have been reinstated.
Students Sachin Sharma and Carey Davis will now return to lessons at Prince Henry's Grammar School in Otley.
The two pupils were suspended after Sachin addressed students in the school canteen about a proposed walk-out on Tuesday.
The school has said the suspensions were issued because of safety issues and to ensure other pupils could continue their lessons.
Now after a meeting between the pupils, parents and staff both sixth-formers have been allowed back.
