Kamran Ahmed

Kamran Ahmed is an activist affiliated with Palestine Action, a group known for its protests against companies with ties to Israel, particularly those involved in defense manufacturing. He is newsworthy due to his participation in a prolonged hunger strike while imprisoned in the UK. Along with other Palestine Action-linked detainees, Ahmed initiated the hunger strike in November 2025 to protest their imprisonment, demand a fair trial, and oppose the UK's designation of Palestine Action as a 'terrorist organization'. The hunger strike garnered significant attention, with concerns growing about the activists' health as it stretched beyond 70 days. Ahmed, along with others, eventually ended the strike following reports that Elbit Systems UK, a subsidiary of an Israeli arms manufacturer, failed to secure a UK government contract. He was later released on bail along with other activists. The event highlights the ongoing activism surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the tactics employed by activists, as well as the UK government's response to such actions.
