Two people hold a large banner stating "INS Tortures Wackenhut Hunger Strikes" outside of the Wackenhut Detention Center in Queens, NY. Prisoners began hunger strikes in protest of brutal prison conditions and to motivate the INS to review prisoner cases for asylum. CAAAV and other organizations came out to demonstrate outside of the prison in support of the inmates.
