Fears Palestine Action hunger striker will die in prison after 43 days without food
- Last week, supporters and NHS doctors protested outside HMP Bronzefield demanding an ambulance for Qesser Zuhrah, while Amu Gib, 30, and Kamran Ahmed, 28, were hospitalised after refusing food.
- Proscription of Palestine Action and contested prison treatment prompted the Filton 24 to refuse food starting November 2, with seven prisoners hospitalised since then.
- Doctors at the scene say police grabbed and dragged medical staff, with Olivia Brandon losing consciousness and later undergoing a CT scan, while Ayo Moiett was arrested after demanding an ambulance.
- A legal firm representing the hunger strikers has sent a pre-action letter to Justice Secretary David Lammy demanding a response within 24 hours, while Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Prisons minister Lord Timpson say procedures are being followed and will not meet the prisoners.
- The group's banning has prompted solidarity protests abroad while far-right marchers shouted death chants and Dr James Smith warned activists are dying, drawing comparisons to the 1981 strike.
