Saturday marks day 69 of Heba Muraisi’s hunger strike. Day 62 for Kamran Ahmed. They are at imminent risk of death, and this Labour government remains spineless, refusing even to meet their lawyers while lives hang in the balance. It's important to be clear about what is really going on politically around the hunger strike in British prisons. A group of young people, whose only alleged 'crime' is direct action against arms companies may die before they even reach a courtroom. This is not incidental. The proscribing of Pal Action as a terrorist organisation, and the broader clampdown on the Palestine movement, has one central purpose - protecting Britain's arms supply chain to Israel This UK Government is willing to see its own citizens die in order to maintain arms exports to an apartheid state carrying out genocide.
