"Eight Palestine Action activists have been participating in an open-ended hunger strike in prison for nearly two months over Palestine and several have been hospitalised as their health has reached a critical stage according to a doctor. The ongoing hunger strikes at HMP Bronzefield began on 2 November and have been called the biggest coordinated prison hunger strike in almost 40 years in the UK, campaign group Prisoners for Palestine said at a press conference on Thursday."
"More than 800 doctors, legal experts and family members have sent a letter to the justice secretary David Lammy, urging him to meet their lawyers to discuss the ongoing protest. The letter comes after one of the hunger strikers, 20-year-old Qesser Zuhrah, who is currently on her 47th day without food, was taken to hospital on Wednesday. Campaigners at Prisoners for Palestine claim that prison staff had refused entry to ambulances and delayed Zuhrah's treatment overnight."
