Former hunger strikers from Palestine, Ireland, and Guantanamo Bay are urgently appealing to the UK government to intervene and save the lives of Palestine Action hunger strikers. These detainees are imprisoned in the UK on remand, without trial or conviction, some for over a year. The former hunger strikers claim the UK government has chosen prolonged remand, isolation, censorship, restricted contact with loved ones, medical neglect, and the language of terror. They assert the detainees are striking to protest the UK's support for Israel and to advocate for Palestinian liberation, citing systematic abuse of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. The appeal emphasizes the hunger strikers' lack of other options and the potential for fatal consequences if the government does not act.
