Eight Prisoners for Palestine in UK jails have entered a life-threatening phase of their hunger strike, as the British government faces accusations of medical neglect and deliberate dishonesty. Sul Nowroz reports on the most serious prison hunger str

In this report, Sul Nowroz documents the critical hospitalisation of UK hunger-striker Kamran Ahmed, exposing medical negligence, excessive "counter-terrorism" powers, and the growing movement demanding justice for political prisoners held without trial.

Jeremy Corbyn wrote to Justice Minister David Lammy requesting an urgent meeting to discuss his constituent and others’ political hunger strike. They face persecution and extended pre-trial remand.

Prisoners, facing up to 2 years remand before trial, face government silence as they starve for justice. Their alleged crime - involvement in actions to disrupt Elbit’s supply of weaponry to the IDF.

A fifth UK remand prisoner joins the Prisoners For Palestine hunger strike, bolstered by international solidarity from Italian and American activists. No UK government department has yet responded.

The latest prisoner to refuse food, protesting against a long wait for justice, is 24 year old Jon Cink. He faces 18 months in prison before trial - three times the government’s own custody limit.

As a third person joins the hunger strike, with more o follow, prison authorities appear to be using discriminatory discipline procedures against these remand prisoners who are demanding justice.

Dozens of political prisoners are expected to join the two UK prisoners who began their hunger strike on Sunday, Balfour Day. Sul Nowroz outlines the circumstances leading up to this historic moment.

Today, Balfour Day, two UK political prisoners begin a hunger strike, starting a wider prisoner protest by Palestine activists, against government repression and ongoing support for Israel’s genocide.
