Prominent Western Sahara independence campaigner Aminatou Haidar sits while on a hunger strike at Guacimeta airport on Spain's Canary island of Lanzarote November 30, 2009. Haidar went on hunger strike on November 15 after Morocco refused her entry and made her get back on a plane back to the Canary Islands as she tried to return to the Western Sahara, a territory which has long sought independence from Moroccan control.
