Overview
- Campaigners say Heba Muraisi at HMP New Hall is in critical danger, reporting dizziness, body aches and difficulty forming sentences after 57 days without food.
- Three prisoners are still refusing food — identified as Muraisi, Teuta Hoxha and Kamran Ahmed — while Lewie Chiaramello is fasting on alternate days, with others having paused due to health concerns.
- All are on remand over alleged break-ins and criminal damage linked to Palestine Action, including incidents at Elbit Systems UK and RAF Brize Norton, with trials not expected until mid-2026.
- An A&E doctor supporting the group warns they are in a critical, unpredictable phase with risks of irreversible organ and muscular damage even if they survive.
- The prisons minister says established procedures and NHS care are in place and rejects meetings with the prisoners, as protests continue and Greta Thunberg’s recent arrest at a London demonstration draws attention to the case.
