Overview
- Heba Muraisi, 31, has gone 66 days without food at HMP New Hall, with supporters reporting breathing difficulties and severe muscle spasms suggestive of possible neurological damage.
- Kamran Ahmed, 28, is around day 59 and was taken to hospital again early Wednesday, following multiple prior admissions and reports of intermittent hearing loss.
- A third participant, Lewie Chiaramello, 22, continues an alternate‑day fast due to type 1 diabetes, as several others have paused their strikes after limited concessions.
- Lawyers for Muraisi and Ahmed wrote to Justice Secretary David Lammy on Wednesday seeking a meeting and warning, citing medical advice, that deterioration could become irreversible very quickly.
- The Ministry of Justice says NHS teams are providing care and ministers will not intervene or meet representatives; strikers demand immediate bail, uncensored communications, de‑proscription of Palestine Action and closure of Elbit’s UK sites, citing prolonged remand.
