Indian students in Prince Edward Island, Canada, began a full hunger strike on May 28, protesting recent immigration cuts that threaten their residency status. These students, facing deportation due to changes in provincial laws, have abstained from all food and water. Their demands include exempting those who arrived before July 2023 from the new restrictions. The cuts reduce permanent residency nominations by 25%, citing strain on healthcare and housing. Protestors claim the government has ignored their pleas and vow to escalate the protests until their voices are heard .
