Pro-Palestine activist on hunger strike says he will begin refusing water
AI Summary
Umer Khalid, a 22-year-old pro-Palestine activist and Palestine Action-linked remand prisoner in the UK, is escalating his hunger strike by refusing water, beginning Saturday. Khalid is protesting Britain's alleged complicity in Israel's actions in Gaza and demanding immediate bail, an end to censorship in prison, an inquiry into British involvement in Israeli military operations, and the release of surveillance footage related to the death of British aid workers. He hopes this "drastic action" will pressure the government to address his demands. Khalid is among five activists accused of breaking into RAF Brize Norton in June. His action follows a similar protest by three other Palestine Action activists who recently ended their hunger strikes.
