Updated links about Trevor
Some of the old URL's about Trevor don't work anymore, but he did release a more recent statement, and there are some other updates on the web.
Trevor's statement from 5/10: http://www.jerusalem.indymedia.org/news/2002/05/30328.php
Colorado Campaign for Middle East Peace has updates about them:

Updates on all the ISM activists who were detained around May 3: http://jerusalem.indymedia.org/news/2002/05/30528.php
Here's a "Letter to our US friends" that someone wrote: http://jerusalem.indymedia.org/news/2002/05/30916.php
There are some really hateful comments that people have written on the Palestine Indymedia site when they've heard about the hunger strikers. We have to remember that their use of the hunger strike as a tactic is not just about getting them released (and not deported), it is also about bringing worldwide attention to the struggle of the Palestinians.
They believe that this is the best thing that they can contribute to the struggle now that they are being detained- are you doing anything for a cause that you believe in? If not, then maybe this helps put their activism into perspective for you. We need more activists- I would encourage you to please think about ways that you can make more positive contributions to the world.
Trevor's latest statement moved me to tears when I read it last night. I hope we'll get to see him again.
