A NEW activist group for the Palestine Action hunger strikers covered the Labour Party’s south London headquarters with red paint and broke windows today.

Justice For The Hunger-Strikers took action a day after reports that the prisoners are losing the ability to speak and stand without passing out.

A spokesperson for the group said: “Today is day 57 of refusing food for hunger striker Heba Muraisi.

“Their condition is critical, but the Labour government has failed to intervene in any way to save the lives of unconvicted prisoners, who face harsher treatment due to the policitised nature of their detention and the proscription of Palestine Action. 

“We hold the government and the Labour Party responsible for the welfare of the hunger-striking prisoners, and we will take direct action in support of them, and in solidarity with the Palestinian people, whose blood they have on their hands. 

“The carelessness and callousness of this Labour government will not shield them, and we will continue taking action until there has been justice for the hunger strikers and for the Palestinians.”

Eight activists went on hunger strike while awaiting trial for alleged break-ins or criminal damage. Four continue their protest.

Heba Muraisi, 31, has said she feels “weaker as each day passes” in a statement released by the Prisoners for Palestine group. 

“I can no longer lie on my side as it hurts my face,” she added, saying that she is losing the ability to “form sentences, and struggling to maintain conversation” in HMP New Hall in West Yorkshire.

Earlier this month two of the activists, Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib, paused their hunger strike at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey after 48 days due to deteriorating health. Both were admitted to hospital for treatment.

Those still refusing food are Teuta Hoxha, Ms Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed and Lewie Chiaramello, according to Prisoners for Palestine.

Four of the group, including Ms Muraisi, are accused of playing roles in the break-in at Israeli-linked defence technology company Elbit Systems UK on November 19 2024. They will go on trial in May next year at the earliest.

The other four are accused of breaking into RAF Brize Norton in June.

The Met Police said that it was called to reports of criminal damage at 3.15am.

A spokeswoman said: “A small group were witnessed damaging the glass windows of the building before leaving the scene.

“Enquiries remain ongoing and no arrests have been made at this stage.”

The Labour Party was contacted for comment.
