On his hunger strike, Sands was protesting against what?
The Vietnam War
Removal of Special Category Status
Animal Cruelty
Brexit
Answer
The removal of Special Category Status was the primary grievance behind Bobby Sands' hunger strike. This status granted political prisoners in Northern Ireland certain privileges, such as the right to wear their own clothes and associate with other prisoners. Sands and his fellow hunger strikers demanded the restoration of Special Category Status, arguing that it was a recognition of their political motivations rather than mere criminals.
