67 Days Without Food: The Grim Reality of the UK Palestine Action Hunger Strike 2026
Activists Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed face life-threatening conditions after 67 days of the UK Palestine Action hunger strike 2026. Read the full analysis.
Death is knocking on the doors of British prison cells. As of January 8, 2026, two activists have pushed their bodies past the point of no return, marking a grim milestone in the UK Palestine Action hunger strike 2026.
Demands of the UK Palestine Action Hunger Strike Activists
Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed have refused food for 67 and 60 days, respectively. According to Al Jazeera, they are part of a group of prisoners protesting their detention following actions against Elbit Systems and an RAF base. They're demanding bail, a fair trial, and the de-proscription of Palestine Action, which the UK government labeled a "terrorist organization" last summer.
The trajectory that they are on at the moment can only end in one way, which is progressive decline and eventually death.
Medical Crisis and Government Inaction
The health of the protesters is deteriorating rapidly. Muraisi is suffering from muscle spasms and neurological issues, while Ahmed's heart rate has reportedly dropped below 40 beats per minute. Despite these critical warnings, the Ministry of Justice has reportedly refused to meet with legal representatives, stating that prison policies regarding food refusal are being strictly followed.
Supporters have pointed out the chilling historical parallel to Bobby Sands, the Irish Republican who died after 66 days on strike. Muraisi has now surpassed that duration, sparking fears of an imminent tragedy within the British penal system.
