It can be short-term or long-term and is commonly used by imprisoned individuals or groups.

1. Hunger strike

   A hunger strike is a method of non-violent resistance or pressure in which participants fast as an act of political protest, or to provoke feelings of guilt in others, usually with the objective to achieve a specific goal, such as a policy change. Most hunger strikers will take liquids but not solid food. In cases where an entity has or is able to obtain custody of the hunger striker, the hunger strike is often terminated by the custodial entity through the use of force-feeding.
