Palestinian hunger striker’s speech deteriorates after 57 days without food

Heba Muraisi, a prisoner on hunger strike for Palestine, is in her 57th day without food and is reported to be in critical condition, struggling to follow conversations and experiencing severe physical deterioration. She is one of eight prisoners detained for alleged direct action protests, with three still continuing their strike. Heba’s arrest in November 2024 relates to a raid on an Israeli weapons manufacturer, and she faces a trial set for June 2026, having spent nearly two years in custody without conviction. Medical experts warn that her health is at serious risk, with potential for irreversible damage due to prolonged starvation.
