"Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity." --Horace Mann

Samaritan Six

Meet Samaritan Six. All six were software engineers in India, who raised millions of rupees for the poor. Except that they had hacked into the ledgers of a large corporation and stolen all the money. Unlike Robinhood, the law caught up them and they all went to jail. But their story doesn't stop there. While in prison, they noticed that the inmates were not receiving minimum food rations, prescribed by the jail manuals. So they launched a hunger strike. As of today, the food fast is still on.
