A hunger striker on remand as she awaits trial for allegedly taking part in a Palestine Action raid on a defence plant was hospitalised this week after going more than 50 days without food.  

Heba Muraisi, 31, is the longest-running member from an initial group of eight who began the protest in prison as they wait to be tried.
