Why Palestine Action hunger strikers are nearing death in UK prisons (and why British media have barely noticed)

Britain’s largest prison hunger strike in decades has unfolded with surprisingly little public scrutiny

In British prisons this winter, pro-Palestinian activists linked to Palestine Action have pushed their bodies to the brink of death. By early January, most of the original seven participants had called off their hunger strikes, but three have persisted.

The Palestine Action-linked protest is the largest coordinated prison hunger strike in the UK in over four decades.
