MP Zarah Sultana has launched a protest outside HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, calling for urgent medical intervention for hunger striker Qesser Zuhrah, who has refused food for 46 days and is reportedly critically ill. Zuhrah, on remand awaiting trial for an alleged break-in at an Israeli defence firm, is part of a wider protest involving members of the banned Palestine Action group. Sultana has appealed to government officials for help, stating that the prison has denied ambulance access despite Zuhrah's deteriorating condition. The prison maintains that all inmates receive appropriate healthcare and regular assessments, while legal challenges to the group's ban continue in court. Protests and hunger strikes are ongoing in multiple prisons, with lawyers warning of serious risks to the detainees' lives.
