Most Palestine Action Prison Hunger Strikers End 73-Day Protest After Elbit Misses £2bn Army Deal

Prisoners began re-feeding after reports that a Raytheon-led consortium beat Elbit to the training contract they had targeted.

Overview

  • Kamran Ahmed, Heba Muraisi and Lewie Chiaramello started re-feeding on Wednesday after 73 days without food, according to Prisoners for Palestine.
  • Four others who had paused their strikes — Teuta Hoxha, Jon Cink, Qesser Zuhrah and Amy Gardiner-Gibson (Amu Gib) — said they have now ended their protests and begun re-feeding.
  • Muhammad Umer Khalid remains on hunger strike, with campaign updates and some outlets citing him as the last continuing striker.
  • The shift followed reports in The Times that the Ministry of Defence selected a Raytheon UK–led consortium over Elbit Systems UK for a £2 billion Army training programme, with the MoD declining formal comment until a preferred tenderer is announced.
  • Several prisoners suffered severe medical complications during the protest, and with trials still pending for alleged break-ins and criminal damage linked to the now-proscribed group, national prison healthcare leaders met representatives to discuss care and conditions.
