Today on Flashpoints on the 44th day of the California prisoners’ hunger strike, we speak with Azadeh Zohrabi, one of the spokesperson’s for the Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity Coalition about the recent judge ruling to forcefeed inmates and resuscitate them even if they have signed do-not-resuscitate orders. Next, we feature a discussion regarding Lebanon’s increasing quandary with Syria’s conflict and how the US is involved. Then, we take a further look into Syria’s conflict spilling into Jordan and the new U.S. base built in Jordan. Finally, we canvass tools for digital civil disobedience in response to the NSA’s surveillance snooping.
