Palestine Action hunger strikers near death ‘intent’ on continuing protests

AI Summary

long article 6 min

British activists Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed, linked to Palestine Action, are continuing hunger strikes in UK prisons, with Muraisi refusing food for 67 days and Ahmed for 60. The prisoners are protesting their remand status, demanding bail, a fair trial, and the de-proscription of Palestine Action, which the UK government designated a terrorist organization in July 2025. Muraisi, reportedly suffering severe health issues including muscle spasms and memory decline, is determined to continue until their demands are met. The prisoners are being held for alleged involvement in break-ins at Elbit Systems and an RAF base, charges they deny. Five other individuals previously participating in the hunger strike have stopped due to health concerns.
