LONDON: UN human rights experts have raised concerns about the treatment of prisoners linked to Palestine Action who have been on hunger strike while on remand, warning it may breach the UK’s international human rights obligations. Eight prisoners awaiting trial for alleged offences connected to the group have taken part in the protest, reported The Guardian on Friday. Among them are Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib, who were on hunger strike at HMP Bronzefield from Nov. 2 to Dec. 23, and Heba Muraisi, held at HMP New Hall.

Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib, on remand at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, had refused food for almost 50 days in protest at the ban on Palestine Action

Four Palestine Action-linked prisoners are still on hunger strike while four have paused their protest, group Prisoners for Palestine says
