Four Palestine Action Hunger Strikers Vow to Continue Despite Critical Health Warnings

Four Palestine Action Hunger Strikers Vow to Continue Despite Critical Health Warnings

Four Palestine Action activists remain on hunger strike in UK prisons despite severe health warnings, with families saying they have the resolve to continue. The strikers are demanding immediate bail, fair trials, and de-proscription of Palestine Action. Two fellow strikers recently paused their protest after serious health concerns and hospitalisation. Lawyers have initiated legal action against the government as Justice Secretary David Lammy refuses to meet with representatives. The remaining four strikers face deteriorating health conditions, with some having been held on remand for over a year.
