Three Palestine Action Prisoners End 73-Day Hunger Strike After Reported MoD Contract Decision

They say Elbit Systems UK’s reported loss of a £2 billion training deal satisfied a key demand.

Supporters of the pro-Palestinian hunger strikers demonstrate in London on November 29, 2025.
People demonstrate in support of imprisoned Palestine-Action linked activists outside Woolwich Crown Court during a bail hearing for members of the so-called Filton 24 last October.

Overview

  • Kamran Ahmed, Heba Muraisi and Lewie Chiaramello announced the end of their protest after 73 days without food.
  • The Times reported, citing a Ministry of Defence insider, that a Raytheon UK–led consortium was selected over Elbit for the £2 billion soldier training contract.
  • Muraisi, held at HMP New Hall more than 200 miles from family, had deteriorated significantly, with MPs saying they would consider reviewing her request for transfer to HMP Bronzefield.
  • Ahmed had been hospitalised six times and diagnosed with bradycardia, with relatives publicly criticising the government over his treatment.
  • Chiaramello, who has type 1 diabetes, had been refusing food every other day, and separate updates noted another striker, Teuta Hoxha, was hospitalised after ending her fast with suspected refeeding complications.
