grumpy old man

@novaramedia should be charged for wasting and costing the NHS time and money. if he wants to be on hunger strike, we should honour his wishes and leave him to it

A Palestine Action-linked hunger striker has been hospitalised for a sixth time after a medical test showed unusual heart activity, an advocacy group has said, 59 days after he began refusing food to protest his now 14-month-long pre-trial detention. Kamran Ahmed, who is jailed at HMP Pentonville, is at imminent risk of death and permanent brain and organ damage, according to Prisoners for Palestine. The Labour government has ignored repeated pleas by hunger strikers’ lawyers and families to meet with officials in order to address inmates’ demands. Another hunger striker, Heba Muraisi, has gone 66 days without food and has been suffering from uncontrollable muscle spasms, which medical experts say could indicate neurological damage. A third Palestine Action-associated prisoner, Teuta Hoxha, ended her hunger strike on Tuesday, after 58 days. She may be suffering from complications related to refeeding syndrome, a dangerous condition that can occur when starving people begin eating again. Your Party MP Zarah Sultana said that all three inmates could die at any moment. “In 1981, two of the ten IRA hunger strikers in British prisons died before reaching day 59. Two more died before day 61, and by day 73, all ten had passed away,” she said in a statement. Six of the eight inmates who have refused food in recent months have now paused their strikes. They have all been held well in excess of the standard 182-day pre-trial custody limit. As well as immediate bail, the hunger strikers are demanding that prison officials stop censoring their communications, that the government reverse the terror designation of Palestine Action and for the UK premises of Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems to be shut down. They are being held over alleged involvement in break-ins at factories owned by Elbit and at RAF Brize Norton. All deny the charges. “They should not be in prison at all,” Sultana said. “They pose no threat to the public, have been held well beyond the standard 182-day pre-trial custody limit, and there is no justification for denying them bail. This is a political choice.”

@TheCanaryUK @Prisoners4Pal wasting NHS money. im dont care anymore as the 1 i had in the works sweep stake has given up

UK state cruelty leaves political prisoner in need of 'urgent medical care' The Canary spoke to T's sister about how the UK state has wilfully ignored her human rights during her hunger strike @Prisoners4Pal thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

Our (hopefully😅) last post of the night is a simple YES or NO question for you to answer… Do you agree with the decision to sack Ruben Amorim? 👇 #MUFC

@Prisoners4Pal @DavidLammy all the money they have cost the NHS disgraceful. just eat a bacon buttie and get on with it

In a most recent update on Heba Muraisi’s health, she describes having to remind herself to breathe, having the constant feeling of holding her breath Kamran has been hospitalised 5 times as he describes being cuffed the entire time Three months in and silence from @DavidLammy

@TheCanaryUK bored of this now, the one i had in the works sweep stake gave up just my luck !

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Leeds marches for the hunger strikers and for Palestine - despite the presence of far-right Zionists

@nickdearden75 dont care anymore i bloody had Qesser Zuhrah in the works sweep stake, just my luck

It’s a freezing cold night, 2 days before Xmas but there’s a lot of very angry people outside the ministry of justice to show solidarity with the hunger strikers who’ve become a focal point of opposition to this government’s shocking, inhuman response to genocide.

@Prisoners4Pal not interested anymore i had Qesser Zuhrah in the sweep stake

Four hunger striking prisoners have called for additional demands to be met: Drop all non association orders Access to all activities and courses Heba back in HMP Bronzefield More here:

@Prisoners4Pal well thats my sweep stake down !! i had Qesser Zuhrah to win 🙁🙁🙁

We announce the pausing of three of our hunger strikers with statements from them. Their bravery and courage as well as sacrifice can never be forgotten. There are still currently four individuals hunger striking at a critical point and need our support.

@zarahsultana not happy as i had Qesser Zuhrah in the sweep stake just my luck!

After 48 and 49 days, Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib have paused their hunger strike. Their bravery has laid bare the cruelty of a Labour government wanting them to die. They refused to give them that — and will resume in the new year. Four others remain at a critical point, refusing food until their demands are met, UK complicity ends and Palestine is free. Shame on you, David Lammy and Keir Starmer. Immediate bail for remand prisoners now.

@BeckettUnite one day you all will wake up and ask.....

London protestors in solidarity with the Palestine 🇵🇸 activists on hunger strike in 🇬🇧 prisons Despite a mainstream media blackout All over the country people are demanding that anti genocide activists must not be allowed to die Lammy & Starmer- their lives are in your hands.

@BeckettUnite one day you will stop and ask.........

Francesca Albanese facing down intimidation again & again ‘Personal threats’ ‘More & more intense’ ‘Accused [falsely] of anti semitism’ ‘Culminating in sanctions’ ‘Will not be silenced’ ‘More people are standing up’ ‘It will not last forever’ This is strength Free Palestine 🇵🇸

@HelmaSanaa you will look back and be asking yourself the same thing....

Do you agree?

@corbyn_project history will remember

History will remember the decent ordinary people who stood up against the occupation and for the rights of the Palestinian people.

@doctor_rahmeh maybe one day you will wake up and the penny might drop......

We could be a generation that sees British political prisoners die in jail and what a disgraceful legacy that would be. And for what? For 'israel'? So they can murder more children with our taxes? Our grandchildren will learn about this in school and they will be so ashamed

@JeannieMck60115 @DanielFooksArt demands from terrorists and racists cant make it up !

Currently at demo in support of the hunger strikers outside the Ministry of Justice in London. Two people were arrested just as I turned up. The right to protest and freedom of speech is under attack like never before. #FreePalestine

@DanielFooksArt backing of terrorist sympathiser's and racists should be closely monitored, and be arrested if breaking the law

@IanByrneMP the only people that are putting their lives at risk is themselves. you would not be backing it if its people jailed for tweets was doing this. you only back racists

Nearly 50 MPs have backed a motion calling on the Justice Secretary to engage with the Palestine Action hunger strikers. One of them, Qesser Zuhrah desperately needs urgent medical attention. David Lammy can no longer ignore MPs calls and must act urgently.

@NadiaWhittomeMP @ApsanaBegumMP @jeremycorbyn @AndyMcDonaldMP @pcs_union you know the best way to save their lives is for them to eat ? wasting NHS time and money, I wonder how you would react if people that have been imprisoned for tweets did it. no you just back racists

In our hundreds we protested outside the Ministry of Justice, demanding the government’s immediate intervention to save the lives of the hunger strikers. We have been raising this in every way possible and we will not stop.

@ChrisNineham just as racist as nazi Germany no difference

They threatened to ban us today. But once again a tremendous turn out in London tonight for the hunger strikers and against the genocide. We ill not concede to their clampdown… #FreePalestine #DefendtheRightToProtest
