Two Palestinian hunger strikers hospitalized in UK prisons.

Two Palestine Action-affiliated remand prisoners in the UK, Kamran Ahmed and Amu Gib, are on hunger strike and have been hospitalized, raising concerns of potential death. The protesters, accused of involvement in break-ins at Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems, demand fair trial rights and the closure of Elbit sites. Ahmed’s health is deteriorating rapidly, with significant weight loss and organ damage risks. The hunger strike, joined by six detainees across five prisons, highlights alleged censorship and calls for de-proscription of Palestine Action. Secretary of State for Justice David Lammy’s intervention is sought to address the crisis, amid accusations of government neglect and media silence on the issue.
