LONDON: Three pro-Palestinian activists detained in Britain ended their hunger strike on Wednesday, with some of them facing imminent death from the effects of their protest, campaign group Prisoners for Palestine said in a statement.
All of the hunger strikers have been charged with offenses allegedly carried out on behalf of Palestine Action, before the group was banned and designated a terrorist organization.
Two are in custody over alleged involvement in a break-in at an Israeli-linked defense firm last year. The other was one of several accused of breaching a military air base in central England and damaging two aircraft in protest against Britain’s support for Israel.
Palestine Action was banned in July, making it a crime to be a member. Thousands have since been arrested for holding signs in support of the group.
