Edinburgh Green councillors today tabled a motion, expressing support for the Palestine solidarity protestors who are on hunger strike in UK prisons. The UK’s ludicrous proscription of nonviolent protestors, branding them as terrorists, led to fears that councillors could face arrest merely for debating it.

Arrests as protesters breach London prison grounds -
The last #PalestineAction prisoner still on hunger strike has now stopped drinking water, which a doctor has warned could kill him within 3 to 5 days
#UmerKhalid, 22, has been accused of spray painting a plane.
He has asked for one small thing: to meet the prison governor. Prisoners for Palestine have constructed a template for you to use to help him with this request.

Palestine Action Prison Hunger Strike Ends After a Victory in the UK
The UK government rejected a $2.7 billion contract for a subsidiary of Israel’s largest weapons maker, Elbit Systems.https://murica.website/2026/01/palestine-action-prison-hunger-strike-ends-after-a-victory-in-the-uk/

@thisisdys I am most sorry to disillusion you but the heroic actions of the #HungerStrikers had little effect on the #Elbit contract.
The Times reported that a dossier given to the MoD last year alleged that Elbit Systems had breached business appointment rules in preparing a bid for the £2.6bn contract after a former British military officer, Brigadier Philip Kimber, attended a key meeting with Elbit in the weeks after he left the army. He had advised them how to win the contract.
sorry

I haven't trusted the Government with my Family's life since COVID.
They just didn't give a fuck how many of us were dying, we weren't worth the effort to them. We're not rich paedos...#HungerStrikers #Filton24 #PalestineAction #SaveOurJuries #COVID19 #UKGOV #UKPOL #UKPOLITICS #ClanOfPaedophiles #Genocide

How BBC spun this
"the government offered to facilitate a meeting between the protesters' representatives and medical professionals inside the jails to brief them on the care being offered
The protesters took up that offer two weeks after it was made"
The #hungerstrikers set this out as a demand from the start!
"The MoJ has vehemently denied clams of medical mistreatment"
... 18 hour wait for ambulance for Qesser Zuhrah"200 hunger strikes a year - no data for this
-
It seems, no matter how noble, the #hungerstrikers were The Times reports that a dossier given to the Ministry of Defence last year alleged that Elbit Systems UK had breached business appointment rules in preparing a bid for the £2.6bn contract. A former British military officer, Brigadier Philip Kimber, attended a key meeting with Elbit in the weeks after he left the army. He had advised them how to win the contract.
Once that was discovered, they were automatically out of the picture.

The #HungerStrikers had several key demands (Thread sorry)
How far were these met yesterday bears examination
(1) immediate bail
- Not achieved(2) the right to a fair trial (which they say would include the release of documents related to “the ongoing witch-hunt of activists and campaigners”)
- Achieved documents were returned back to T Hoxha was allowed a meeting the head of the joint extremism unit at her prison, which it said “orchestrates the prisoners’ treatment as ‘terrorists’”./1

I am most sorry I neglected to mention Umer Khalid, the last remaining hunger striker. He continues to use his body as a weapon against the state in pursuit of justice.
I shall try and find out more xxx

CW: Elbit contract denied / 3 hunger strikers pause
Just saw -
"Palestine hunger strikers pause action citing historic victory
"The announcement comes after the news that Elbit Systems lost out on a £2 billion contract
"THREE activists have ended their hunger strike on the same day Israel's largest weapons manufacturer was denied a major multi-billion-pound contract, a key demand of the group."
(The rest of that article is signup-walled.)
I wonder which three. I wonder how their health is now and if they'll be able to fully recover.
They still shouldn't be held without trial this long, mind you. Justice delayed is justice denied.
-
The #HungerStrikers have ended their strike
Demands met include #HebaMuraisi being transferred back to Bronzefield
The censorship of communications has now been lifted with various messages properly started receiving bulk packages of withheld mail
Importantly the government has decided not to award a £2bn contract to the Israeli arms company subsidiary Elbit Systems UK
Brilliant

EMAIL YOUR MP #hungerStrikers thread
They all check their mobiles before question time - I see them do it - I sent them this. Hopefully, they will talk about it
__________________Dear MP,
Are you going to let these young people die in our prisons and then make excuses with legal platitudes?
Are you going to do that?
And then the next day, everything will all be forgotten?

#HebaMuraisi is now on day 73 of her hunger strike, making her desperate action the longest in modern British history.
And still, the government refuses to listen.

Frankly, and please forgive me, but allowing the death of young people in our prisons in no way helps the Government connect emotionally to the electorate.
Callous and uncaring will be the words that will be used.

CW: hunger strikers
I'm thinking about the hunger strikers. Sadness, because it does look like they're gonna die, and that if they survived they'd have lifelong damage. Respect for them, and not for the government refusing to negotiate. Obviously the govt disagrees with them but that's what discussion is for. We should be treasuring people of such integrity and courage, not squandering their life force to prop up a genocide.
And they shouldn't even be in prison this long without a trial, either. That's completely unacceptable.
Also thinking of Timpson's comment about how the prison service has lots of experience of hunger strikes. Yeah, of people refusing food for a day or two. Is he going to concede that this is a completely different thing? Is he going to concede that he's out of his depth?

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social choices have been made and I hope copies of the communications have been held for the future Inquiry/ Court Case.
They're hoping this will all 'blow over'

Omg, I have just discovered that only one of the #hungerstrikers in 1981 went further than 71 days, where #HebaMuraisi currently is. (12th Jan), and that was only up to 73 days.
All the others, some 11 men, had passed away before 71 days.

Lammy denies these people a fair trial, and he wants to take away Jury trials for the rest of us, he is an American Asset and he is proud of it, the fucker is a Traitor to this nation for the USA.

The Clan Of Paedophiles that the Labour Party has pledged allegiance to demands blood from the 'Protestors' and Starmer and Lammy will oblige like the Quisling fucks that they are.
The greatest crime in our Western societies is standing up to the Paedo Regime, currently engaged in Genocide in Israel as well as Oppression in the USA....

Both Bronzefield and Peterborough prisons are PRIVATELY RUN prisons
This means they incarcerate people for profit
This means they they will spend the barest legal minimum on prisoners
So don't think for a second that the #hungerstrikers in #Bronzefield are well looked after
😒
-
There has been a team of wimmin outside Bronzefield who have been monitoring the condition of the ##hungerstrikers
They were the first to alert ##ZarahSultana about the dangerous medical state of Qesser
It is understood that she has now been taken to hospital, primarily because of Zarah's refusal to leave the prision until this had been arranged.

-
Your Party MP #ZarahSultana rushed in the early hours of the morning of Wednesday, 17 December, to HMP Bronzefield. It was because one of the #Filton24 hunger strike prisoners was at serious risk of death – and the prison was refusing to call an ambulance
-
Amu Gib, who is an Oxford resident, is on day 44 of their hunger strike from HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, where they have been remanded in custody.
They were one of five people charged with allegedly breaking into RAF #BrizeNorton and spraying two planes with red paint in June.
Their trial is not due to happen until January 2027.
There are eight activists who are on hunger strike from prison, five of which have been hospitalised
-
David #Lammy's Ministry of Justice was sprayed with red paint yesterday in light of the fact he has categorically refused to engage with the #HungerStrikers
-
Since the mainstream UK media *still* aren't really publicising the #PalestineAction #hungerstrike, here are more details about the cause, and the hospitalised strikers after weeks without food

#OTD in 1943 five #ConscientiousObjectors began a hunger strike at the United States Northeastern Penitentiary in #Lewisburg Pennsylvania, they were soon joined by a sixth.
Forced feeding of the religious and political #pacifists refusing to fight #WWII began October 22nd as they persisted to oppose what they felt was unjust and unconstitutional "Totalitarian" control of their lives. The hunger strike ended in December 1943 when the head of the Federal Bureau of #Prisons, ended the #censorship of their mail but retained the right to read #PrisonerMail. The men were released after the conclusion of World War II.
One of those #LewisburgPrison #HungerStrikers was a theological seminary student named #DaveDellinger who had been educated at Yale and Oxford before joining the Divinity School of NYC Theological Seminary. Dellinger had already learned as an ambulance driver in the #SpanishCivilWar that "whoever won the armed struggle, it would not be the people". Dellinger later worked with the Berrigan brothers, Daniel Ellsberg and helped organize the 1967 protest march that encircled the #Pentagon. Dellinger would later end up as the oldest member of the #Chicago7 protesters, who was acquitted in a show trial alongside Abbie Hoffman in the late 60's. He made trips to Japan to protest #AtomicWeapons, and went to China and North Vietnam, securing the release of captured American servicemen, acting as a go-between with North Vietnamese leader #HoChiMinh.
