Amu Gib

Amu Gib, a 30-year-old individual affiliated with Palestine Action, is a prisoner who recently garnered media attention due to a prolonged hunger strike. Palestine Action is an activist group known for its pro-Palestine advocacy. Gib was being held at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey while awaiting trial. They, along with other Palestine Action-linked prisoners, initiated a hunger strike to protest their imprisonment and, presumably, to raise awareness for the Palestinian cause. Gib's hunger strike lasted for 50 days, leading to a deterioration of their health and subsequent hospitalization. Concerns over their well-being and prison conditions prompted calls for government intervention from their next of kin and Members of Parliament. The situation highlights the ongoing activism surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the tactics employed by activists, including hunger strikes, to exert pressure and draw attention to their cause.
