Four individuals in the United Kingdom associated with the banned group Palestine Action are continuing their hunger strike despite medical advisories. Two participants in the hunger strike have recently paused their protest due to health issues.
According to the organization Prisoners For Palestine, the four remaining hunger strikers—Kamran Ahmed, Heba Muraisi, Teuta Hoxha, and Lewie Chiaramello—are persisting in their protest. Kamran Ahmed, aged 28, was hospitalized on Sat, Dec 20, 2025, for the third time since the onset of the hunger strike.
The hunger strikers are demanding immediate bail, the right to a fair trial, and the de-proscription of Palestine Action, which was classified as a "terror" group by the UK in July. The group claims that the UK government is complicit in alleged war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza. Additional demands include ending censorship of their communications and closing all sites operated by Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, Elbit.
The prisoners are also calling for an end to non-association orders, access to the same activities as sentenced prisoners, and the transfer of Muraisi back to Bronzefield prison in Surrey.

Chiaramello, who is diabetic, is participating in an intermittent hunger strike and reports symptoms such as confusion and dizziness. The individuals are facing charges related to break-ins at a UK factory operated by Elbit and a Royal Air Force base, which involved spray-painting two military planes. They deny charges of burglary and violent disorder.
The decision to continue the hunger strike follows the temporary cessation by two other prisoners due to severe health effects. One of these individuals, Qesser Zuhrah, paused her strike after experiencing abdominal pain, while Amu Gib resumed eating after experiencing significant weakness.
Legal representatives for the hunger strikers have issued a pre-claim letter to the government, indicating their intent to pursue a High Court case. They seek to engage with Justice Secretary David Lammy regarding the welfare and prison conditions of the strikers.
