SOLIDARITY actions will be held in France on Monday amid growing concerns for the wellbeing of a former YPG volunteer who has been on hunger strike for more than a month. 

Libre Flot was reportedly hospitalised for the second time last week suffering from chest pains and is feared to be in poor health. 

The French national was one of seven people detained in December 2020 and has been charged with being part of a group “planning a terrorist attack.”
