Brit woman on hunger strike as she's detained in Turkey with 'no reason given'

Ella Vivier, a 26-year-old British neuroscience graduate and support worker for vulnerable children, was detained in Turkey without explanation while protesting the NATO summit in Ankara. Her legal representatives claim she and three others were arrested preemptively before participating in any protests and were not informed of the charges against them. The alleged reason for detention is membership in an illegal organization, but no evidence was provided. Ella and the others began a hunger strike to protest their treatment. The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is involved, though her partner reports limited communication with her, as she remains in a counter-terror cell.
