Umer Khalid, a 22-year-old activist in the United Kingdom, is continuing a hunger strike without water in protest against charges related to alleged criminal damage and break-ins. Khalid, who has a serious genetic disorder, is now the last remaining hunger striker after others ended their protest, and his doctor has warned that he could die within days if the situation does not change. The hunger strike began as a protest against charges faced by members of a banned group, and followed the United Kingdom government's decision not to award a major arms contract to a British subsidiary of an Israeli weapons company. Medical experts and supporters have raised urgent concerns about Khalid's health and called on authorities to intervene before it is too late.
