AI Summary

long article 6 min

Three pro-Palestine activists in the UK, Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed, and Lewie Chiaramello, ended their months-long hunger strike in mid-January 2026 due to severe health complications while being held on remand. The activists, part of the Palestine Action group, were protesting their imprisonment and advocating for Palestinian rights. Eight individuals participated in the hunger strike since November, with Umer Khalid continuing the protest. Supporters believe the government made concessions, although these are not specified in the article. The activists, who had not been convicted of any crime, experienced significant physical deterioration, including organ damage, muscle spasms, and weight loss, prompting concerns for their lives.
