LONDON: Eight Palestine Action activists on hunger strike in the UK face dying in prison if Justice Secretary David Lammy fails to intervene, lawyers representing the group have warned. Two of the activists on Wednesday reached the 46-day mark of their protest. A third is on 45 days. It was at 46 days that Martin Hurson, 24, became the sixth of 10 prominent Irish Republican Army hunger strikers to die in 1981. Lawyers for the activists on Tuesday sent a letter to Lammy, also the UK’s deputy prime minister, The Times reported.
