LONDON: Fears are rising that a group of prisoners on hunger strike in the UK could die as one of them approaches the 70th day of their protest. Three people currently detained for activities related to the banned group Palestine Action are currently on hunger strike, with one of them, Kamran Ahmed, having required hospital treatment on five occasions since the start of the protest. He was admitted to hospital on the 58th day of his strike following heart complications. Heba Muraisi, 31, is now on the 69th day of her hunger strike, with friends fearing for her safety.

Prisoners remaining on rolling hunger strike are suffering with dangerous symptoms, loved ones and a doctor say.

Heba Muraisi is among three Palestine Action activists still on hunger strike while awaiting trial in the UK
