Umer Khalid, a 22-year-old British pro-Palestine activist, has ended a hunger and thirst strike in prison after his health deteriorated rapidly, with fears he was at high risk of a heart attack.
Khalid, who is being held on pre-trial remand at the Wormwood Scrubs Prison in London, ended his protest on Sunday, the day he was treated in intensive care as his heart rate slowed to a dangerous level. He has since returned to prison, his family understands. Khalid had begun to refuse fluids late on Friday in an escalation of his hunger strike.
