About
Heba Muraisi, 31, is a Palestine Action activist who was imprisoned in the UK after being charged with breaking into Elbit Systems UK in August 2024. She gained recent notoriety for participating in a hunger strike, along with several other Palestine Action-linked prisoners, to protest their charges and demand bail. The hunger strike, lasting over two months, aimed to pressure the UK government, particularly concerning contracts awarded to Elbit Systems UK, an Israeli arms company subsidiary. News articles detailed Muraisi's deteriorating health during the strike, with reports indicating she felt she was dying. She ended her hunger strike after 73 days, following reports that Elbit Systems UK failed to win a UK government contract. Muraisi and other activists are now planning to sue the prisons for alleged mistreatment during their imprisonment and hunger strike. She has been granted bail. Her case highlights the tactics used by Palestine Action and the ethical debates surrounding government contracts with arms companies linked to Israel.
