Support the hunger strikers

In prison for over a year without trial. They are victims of a system that has used the Terrorism Act to attempt to silence opposition to Israel’s genocide.

They are now at serious life-threatening risk. They must be given fair trials.

important also to note that all the strikers are in prison on remand - they have not yet been to court, but have been held by the state for months. lammy hadn't even responded to correspondence from MPs about the hunger strike; there is no plausible deniability for uk govt here.

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad the situation is in the UK. There are eight people on hunger strike and David Lammy recently claimed he wasn’t even aware of it. That hunger strikers may actually die is barely even news.

Extremely worried for the awful situation of the Palestine Action activists on hunger strike.

Still awaiting trial, some for over a year.

Green MPs and peers have written to David Lammy, calling for urgent action and fair treatment.
We are writing to express our concern about eight prisoners who took action in solidarity with Palestine in August 2024. Amu Gib, Qesser Zuhrah, Heba Muraisi, Jon Cink, Teuta Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, Muhammad Umer Khalid and Lewie Chiaramello are all being held on remand: none has been convicted. They are all on hunger strike, some since 2 November, in protest at their prolonged pre-trial imprisonment, censorship of communications and alleged mistreatment in custody. We share concerns about the length of time they have been detained without trial. Some of the protestors have already been imprisoned for over a year and we note the assessment by UN human rights experts that terrorism powers were misused to circumvent normal legal protections. We are also worried by reports about their treatment and support the call on you made in EDM 2386 to intervene urgently to ensure their treatment is humane and their human rights are upheld. Will you: ensure the hunger strikers are not denied clinical monitoring or hospital access; instigate an immediate review of the remand/bail decisions in these cases; confirm that counter terror powers are not being misapplied to protest activity. These protestors must also be guaranteed their right to a fair trial – the decision since their arrest to proscribe Palestine Action puts this seriously at risk. We would like to know what measures you are putting in place to ensure such a vital cornerstone of our justice system is upheld, in relation to the charges brought against these specific prisoners and more broadly in relation to offences committed by others acting in solidarity with Palestine. We urge you to meet with the families and loved ones of the prisoners on hunger strike – we understand you have not responded yet to representations they have made, and trust you will be open to hearing from them directly about the conditions and treatment suffered.

Alongside fellow Green MPs and Peers, I have written to the Justice Secretary to express my serious concern about the wellbeing and conditions of the hunger strikers.

Five of the strikers have now been hospitalised - it is clear Lammy must take urgent action to prevent tragedy.
Dear David, We are writing to express our concern about eight prisoners who took action in solidarity with Palestine in August 2024. Amu Gib, Qesser Zuhrah, Heba Muraisi, Jon Cink, Teuta Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, Muhammad Umer Khalid and Lewie Chiaramello are all being held on remand: none has been convicted. They are all on hunger strike, some since 2 November, in protest at their prolonged pre-trial imprisonment, censorship of communications and alleged mistreatment in custody. We share concerns about the length of time they have been detained without trial. Some of the protestors have already been imprisoned for over a year and we note the assessment by UN human rights experts that terrorism powers were misused to circumvent normal legal protections, with this being a potential cause of excessively long pre-charge detention (ref). We are also worried by reports about their treatment and support the call on you made in Early Day Motion 2386 (ref) to intervene urgently to ensure their treatment is humane and their human rights are upheld. To that end, would you: • ensure the hunger strikers are not denied clinical monitoring or hospital access; • instigate an immediate review of the remand/bail decisions in these cases; • confirm that counter terror powers are not being misapplied to protest activity. These protestors must also be guaranteed their right to a fair trial – the decision since their arrest to proscribe Palestine Action puts this seriously at risk. We would therefore like to know what measures you are putting in place to ensure such a vital cornerstone of our justice system is upheld, both in relation to the charges brought against these specific prisoners and more broadly in relation to offences committed by others acting in solidarity with Palestine. Lastly, we urge you to meet with the families and loved ones of the prisoners on hunger strike – we understand you have not responded yet to representations they have made, and trust you will be o…

Many of the hunger strikers have already been in prison for over a year - without trial or the option of bail. This isn't justice, it's a breach of their human rights.

The government must urgently ensure the prisoners receive the treatment they need and a fair trial.
MSPs urged to show solidarity with Palestine hunger strike. MSPs will be given the opportunity to show support for those imprisoned and on hunger strike by backing a motion put forward by the Scottish Greens.

🇬🇧🇵🇸 Seven detained UK activists linked to Palestine Action are on a prolonged full hunger strike, with an eighth fasting intermittently in solidarity, now stretching beyond five weeks. Lawyers and families warn their lives are at risk, with multiple strikers hospitalized and doctors saying their condition is becoming life-threatening. The activists are being jailed before trial, despite not being convicted, over direct actions targeting Elbit Systems and genocide complicit military sites. Supporters say the strike protests extended pre-trial imprisonment, prison censorship, and importantly the UK government’s decision to proscribe and ban Palestine Action, as pressure mounts for intervention. Those on hunger strike: Kamran Ahmed, Jon Cink, Amu Gib, Teuta Hoxha, Heba Muraisi, Qesser Zuhrah, and Muhammad Umer Khalid. Lewie Chiaramello, who is diabetic, is fasting every other day. Post See new posts Conversation Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno They're in prison without trial - on hunger strike for Palestine. The media has been suppressing this story. Their lives are at risk. Listen here to their loved ones. Let them be released on bail, close Israeli arms makers, reverse the ban on Palestine Action.

jeremycorbyn Yesterday, I visited my constituent, Amu Gib, who has been detained in HMP Bronzefield without trial since July. Amu is now on Day 39 of their hunger strike, yet there is complete silence across our mainstream media. This is an emergency. They must be granted bail, now. 1 hour ago

The Palestine hunger strikers in jail are moving into the period where irreversible damage can be done and death becomes a real danger.

I had not understood how serious the situation is.

None of them are convicted, and there is no need to keep them in jail at all.

Solidarity with the hunger strikers.

It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.

All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.
