Conflict of interest statement

Competing interests: FWA helped to found the Medical Justice Network (www.medicaljustice.org.uk). For helping detained hunger strikers to obtain adequate medical care, he was reported to the GMC by the management of a detention centre, against the wishes of the patients concerned. He is occasionally paid, under legal aid, for medicolegal reports.
