A PALESTINE ACTION hunger striker was rushed to hospital for the sixth time during his 59 day without food today, amid growing fears he is suffering permanent harm.

Kamran Ahmed, 28, was taken to hospital from HMP Pentonville at 1am after abnormal ECG readings of his heart rate, Prisoners for Palestine campaign group said.

He is one of three remaining hunger strikers alongside Heba Muraisi, 31, who marked her 66th day today and Lewie Chiaramello, 22, who is refusing food every other day because he’s diabetic.

Palestine Action members have been on hunger strikes in prisons across Britain after being jailed over alleged involvement in break-ins at the British subsidiary of the Israeli defence manufacturer Elbit Systems in Filton near Bristol in 2024.

Some members of the direction action group, which was banned as a terror group last summer, are also being held for an alleged break-in at a Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire, where two military aircraft were sprayed with red paint.

The prisoners deny the charges against them, which include burglary and violent disorder.

Protesters gathered outside Parliament today urging the government to respond to their demands of immediate bail, the right to a fair trial, an end to censorship of their communications, “de-proscribing” Palestine Action and closing Elbit Systems factories in Britain.

Your Party MP Zarah Sultana said: “Kamran Ahmed is at imminent risk of death. 

“The demands of the hunger strikers are entirely reasonable. They should not be in prison at all. They pose no threat to the public, have been held well beyond the standard 182-day pre-trial custody limit, and there is no justification for denying them bail. 

“It is an attempt by Keir Starmer’s Labour government punish them before their cases go to trial — because the government knows a jury may well find that their actions were legal under the 1971 Criminal Damage Act, as previous juries have recognised that preventing genocide can constitute a lawful justification for property damage.”

Prisoners for Palestine’s Francesca Nadin said: “It is an absolute disgrace that the government is determined to shoot itself in the foot by showing once again its lack of basic humanity and regard for both international law and the rights of its citizens.”
