Palestine Action Prisoners’ Hunger Strike Enters Critical Phase at 70 Days

Clinicians warn of life‑threatening deterioration for the remaining strikers.

Overview

  • Heba Muraisi has refused food for about 70 days and Kamran Ahmed for roughly 63, with Lewie Chiaramello fasting on alternate days due to type 1 diabetes.
  • Five of the original eight have ended their strikes after hospital treatment or health concerns, leaving two actively refusing all food.
  • Doctors say the prisoners have entered a critical phase, noting typical survival without food is 45 to 61 days and warning of fatal refeeding syndrome when eating resumes.
  • The detainees deny charges tied to alleged break-ins at Elbit Systems in Bristol and RAF Brize Norton and remain on remand awaiting trials.
  • The prisoners demand bail and a fair trial, the de‑proscription of Palestine Action and closure of Elbit sites, while officials say NHS teams are providing care and ministers will not intervene.
