AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Heba Muraisi, a prisoner linked to Palestine Action, is reportedly in critical condition on day 71 of a hunger strike at HMP New Hall in Wakefield. A visitor described Muraisi as extremely thin and weak, stating that she fears her body is shutting down. Muraisi and other prisoners, including Kamran Ahmed and Lewie Chiaramello, are protesting for a fair trial, bail, the deproscription of Palestine Action, the closure of Elbit Systems' UK sites, and an end to censorship of their communications. Ahmed is experiencing heart problems, and Chiaramello, who has type 1 diabetes, is fasting intermittently. Supporters are also demanding Muraisi's transfer back to HMP Bronzefield, closer to her family. Several authors have voiced their support for the hunger strikers.
