He has a choice. He can say something and he can do something about this and meet with the solicitors or family members of the hunger strikers and he can show a bit of humanity."

"I'm on hunger strike in a British prison. This is why | Amu Gib"
Families and supporters of Palestine Action-affiliated hunger strikers have pleaded with Justice Secretary David Lammy to meet them to try to end the protest. Lawyers for the hunger strikers sent a legal letter claiming that refusing a meeting failed to comply with the Ministry of Justice's policy on handling hunger strikes. Three prisoners were simultaneously hospitalised: Qesser Zuhrah, 20, and Amu Gib, 30, have been refusing food for 51 days, and Kamran Ahmed, 28, is on day 43. Ahmed has been hospitalised three times and his condition is described as beyond the point of urgency. Families report uncertainty about Ahmed's status after a reported late-night discharge with no phone contact.
