Pro-Palestinian prisoners in UK will start hunger strike: Campaign group
Prisoners for Palestine says pro-Palestine activists jailed in the United Kingdom will start a series of hunger strikes, claiming all of them have been unjustly treated.
In a statement, the group said it had sent a letter to the country’s home secretary and warned the British government about the planned strike more than a week ago.
According to Prisoners for Palestine, the letter “has gone unanswered and ignored”.
“They have faced systematic abuse throughout their incarceration, and since the proscription of Palestine Action in July, the level of abuse and mistreatment has escalated,” it added.
It added, “The prisoners feel they have no other choice but to launch a rolling hunger strike in support of a principled set of demands, which include an end to interference with their communications, the right to a fair trial, and the proscription of Palestine Action.”
There are currently 33 pro-Palestine prisoners being held without trial in British jails, the group also said.
