Palestine Action prisoners ended their hunger strike, including Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed after 73 and 66 days, following achievement of some of their key demands.
Hunger strikers consider the loss of a 2 billion pound contract by Elbit Systems to train British troops a major victory. Victories included Muraisi’s transfer to HMP Bronzefield, release of withheld mail, a meeting with prison healthcare leaders, and registration of 500 people to take direct action against genocidal military industrial complex. Export licenses for the company over the past five years were also disclosed.
According to campaign group Prisoners For Palestine, all hunger strikers except Umer Khalid have begun re-feeding. Four prisoners face charges for alleged break-in at Elbit Systems site in Filton, and four others for alleged break-in at RAF base in Brize Norton.
