Three Palestine Action members end 73-day hunger strike

Three activists from Palestine Action have ended their 73-day hunger strike in the UK, a protest that was part of a broader movement advocating for the rights of activists within the justice system. This decision follows the announcement that a subsidiary of an Israeli arms manufacturer failed to secure a government contract, which was one of the key demands of the hunger strikers.

A significant hunger strike involving activists from Palestine Action is taking place in UK prisons, with reports indicating that several participants are nearing death due to deteriorating health conditions. Despite the gravity of the situation, British media coverage has been minimal, raising concerns about public awareness and governmental response.

Former hunger strikers from Ireland and Guantanamo Bay have called on the UK government to intervene on behalf of Palestine Action prisoners currently on hunger strike, highlighting the deteriorating health conditions of these individuals. Reports indicate that several strikers have been hospitalized due to their refusal to eat, raising urgent concerns about their well-being.
