Palestine Action Hunger Strike Deteriorates

On 10 January 2026 Sky News reported that Heba Muraisi, 31, a Palestine Action activist on hunger strike for 69 days in a UK prison, has lost more than 10 kg and shows gaunt, light‑headed symptoms. A friend, Amareen Afzal, described her deteriorating condition and fear of death. The trio of remand prisoners – Muraisi, 28‑year‑old Kamran Ahmed and one unnamed – seek immediate bail, demanding the UK end support for companies supplying Israel. Ahmed was admitted to hospital on day 58 after a heart complication. Forty‑five MPs signed a letter urging government response, citing risk of refeeding syndrome. Dr David Nicholl warned that extended hunger strikes can cause permanent neurological damage.
