There are currently four political prisoners on a life-threatening hunger strike in British prisons. Two of the hunger strikers have been imprisoned for over a year and are still awaiting trial. Over 50 Members of Parliament and 800 doctors are calling for urgent action by the British government to meet the demands of the hunger strikers. Their silence has been deafening.
This is the largest coordinated hunger strike in British history since 1981, when Irish republican prisoners demanded recognition as political prisoners. Today, this hunger strike protests the British government’s horrendous treatment of political prisoners facing charges for allegedly taking action against Britain’s role in arming Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
