Hunger strike for 70 days: How the body breaks down without food
AI Summary
Three UK-based Palestine Action activists, Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed, and Lewie Chiaramello, are engaging in a prolonged hunger strike in prison, beginning in November 2025. Muraisi and Ahmed have refused food for 70 and 63 days respectively. They are protesting their pre-trial detention, the UK's designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, and are demanding a fair trial. The activists also seek the closure of Elbit Systems sites in the UK and an end to alleged censorship within the prison system. They have been held for over a year without trial for alleged involvement in break-ins at Elbit Systems and a Royal Air Force base. Prolonged starvation leads to muscle breakdown, slowed metabolism, weakened immunity, and ultimately organ failure.
