Fears for Palestine Action activist on hunger strike for 70 days

Heba Muraisi, a 31-year-old activist with Palestine Action, has been on hunger strike for 69 days while held at HMP New Hall in Yorkshire, prompting serious concerns for her health and survival. Muraisi and two other activists continue their protest, demanding immediate bail and changes to the UK's support for companies supplying weapons to Israel, after being charged with offences including aggravated burglary and criminal damage. Five of the original eight hunger strikers have ended their protest due to health fears, while Muraisi is reported to be physically exhausted, suffering from severe weight loss, and at risk of permanent damage or death. Prison authorities state that healthcare is being provided and that remand decisions are made by independent judges, not ministers, as the activists await trial.
