London, United Kingdom – A British pro-Palestine remand prisoner whose hunger strike brought him to the brink of death is being treated in hospital again, his family understands, renewing fears for his health.
Umer Khalid, 22, last spoke to his mother, Shabana, by phone on January 26. He had been rushed to intensive care a day earlier with a dangerously slow heart rate and organ failure. Soon after, he ended his 17-day hunger strike protest.
