Sharyn Luck
A MIDWIFE has begun a five-day fast in front at Holyrood as she campaigns for Palestinian human rights, an end to weapons sales to Israel and peace in the Middle East.
Sharyn Luck, who has previosuly worked in the West Bank, Lebanon and Gaza — where she was a volunteer human rights observer in hospitals and Red Cresecent ambulances — will hold a vigil each day outside the Scottish Parliament until Thursday.
