Most Palestine Action Prisoners End Hunger Strike After 73 Days

Campaigners say the MoD’s choice of a Raytheon‑led bid over Elbit for a £2bn army training contract prompted re‑feeding.

Overview

  • Kamran Ahmed, Heba Muraisi and Lewie Chiaramello began medically supervised re‑feeding on Wednesday after refusing food for up to 73 days, with Muraisi and Ahmed still in hospital, according to supporters.
  • Four others who had paused earlier hunger strikes — Teuta Hoxha, Jon Cink, Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib — have also resumed eating, while Umer (Umar) Khalid is reported as the last prisoner still striking.
  • Prisoners for Palestine credited the government’s decision not to award the army training program to Elbit Systems UK, with a Raytheon UK‑led consortium selected instead, as meeting a key demand.
  • Campaigners reported meetings with national prison healthcare leaders and cited procedural concessions including Muraisi’s transfer back to HMP Bronzefield and some document disclosures.
  • The prisoners are on remand over alleged break‑ins and criminal damage at an Elbit site near Filton and at RAF Brize Norton, charges they deny, as the proscription of Palestine Action and legal proceedings continue.
