PM steps in to end protest hunger strike

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat stepped in to help end a hunger strike by a Pembroke man in protest at late night noise beside his home.

Dean Camilleri had begun his hunger strike outside thes Auberge de Castille after becoming frustrated after months of seemingly useless fighting against the operaters of a venue in St Georges Bay.

He had been complaining about loud late night music coming from the Villa Rosa even though the operator Anton Camilleri claimed to be within the law.

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat arrived at around 10am and spoke to Mr Camilleri before taking him inside Castille.

Some time later, Mr Camilleri issued a statement saying he called off the strike after talking to Prime Minister Muscat.
