Palestine Action Hunger Strike 2026

UK Urged to Act Over Palestine Action Hunger Strikers! (13.1.2026)

They called for an “urgent ministerial meeting” with families and lawyers, “immediate bail” for the Palestine Action prisoners, the dropping of terrorism related charges, “fair trial conditions free from fear driven narrative and political interference,” access to independent medical care, an end to censorship and visit restrictions.

One of the hunger strikers, Kamran Ahmed, was hospitalized last week for a heart complication, according to Sky News, which cited medics warning they could be at risk of death.

Prisons Minister Lord Timpson has said hunger strikes are “not a new issue” for British prisons and that ministers will not meet the detainees, arguing it would be “entirely unconstitutional and inappropriate” for the government to intervene in ongoing legal cases.

A Clear Example of Zionism

The Palestinians have been kept in a state of arrested economic and industrial development since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The Israeli state receives unconditional support from the Judeo-Christian influenced USA, and their European allies. This essentially renders Israel exempt from the strictures (and punishments) usually associated with International Law, as the international community refuses to hold Israel to account for its many military and paramilitary actions that are a clear violation of Human Rights.
