Bobby Sands, an Irish nationalist and member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, went on a hunger strike in 1981 to protest the treatment of political prisoners. He survived for 66 days without food before dying on May 5, 1981. His hunger strike drew significant attention to the issues faced by political prisoners in Northern Ireland and became a pivotal moment in the Irish conflict.
