Prisoners on Hunger Strike for Palestine Action
Update: 2025-12-20
Description
A group of Palestine Action-linked prisoners in the UK are on a hunger strike, with one reaching day forty-two without food. Theyve been in jail for over a year, facing charges related to an Elbit Systems arms factory protest. The strike, started in November, has seen several prisoners hospitalized due to health issues. Families and doctors warn of severe consequences, as experts say prolonged hunger strikes can lead to heart failure, kidney issues, and brain damage. The prisoners demand bail, an end to the Palestine Action ban, and fewer communication curbs. Despite calls for intervention, the justice secretary has refused meetings. Former prison governors push for bail on humanitarian grounds, as the group vows to continue their fight until concessions are made or the crisis forces a reckoning.
