No food for 2 months: Inside England's longest prison hunger strike

Attend our event 'Challenging the War Machine' later this month: https://secure.declassifieduk.org/events A pro-Palestine activist on hunger strike in a London prison has said the government is “just waiting for one of us to pass away”, as his fellow activist Heba Muraisi passes 71 days - making it England's longest hunger strike in living memory. Kamran Ahmed, who has not eaten for over two months, told Declassified on Sunday that his body was “twitching” uncontrollably and he fears heart failure. “If I pass out while I have this twitching, I can’t move. I’d probably just end up staying frozen on my bed,” unable to press the alarm button in his cell. Ahmed, who spoke to Declassified by phone from Pentonville prison, described having chest pains and being on the brink of fainting. The mechanic from east London has been hospitalised six times since going on hunger strike 64 days ago. He is protesting at being denied bail following his arrest for an alleged break-in by Palestine Action at an Elbit System factory in 2024. Elbit is Israel’s largest arms firm and provides 85% of the drones used by Israel’s army in Gaza. Ahmed was arrested in November 2024 and his trial is not expected to start until June 2026. Prosecution guidelines say prisoners should normally not be held on remand for more than six months. Ahmed is among a number of Palestine Action suspects on remand beyond that time limit. Eight have gone on hunger strike but Ahmed is one of the last still refusing food. Read more: https://www.declassifieduk.org/david-...
