WRITE TO YOUR MP: SIGN THE EDM ON PRISONERS ON HUNGER STRIKE IN BRITAIN
Eight prisoners associated with Palestine Action are currently on hunger strike in protest over the repressive and inhumane conditions of their detention in British prisons. Their health is deteriorating quickly, so they need urgent intervention.
These prisoners are facing trial for allegedly taking action to prevent arms manufacturers from shipping weapons to Israel, used in its genocide against the Palestinian people. It is the perpetrators of genocide, and the British politicians and companies arming them, who should be facing trial. Watch the video of hunger strikers' family members discussing their case and their demands.
Early Day Motion (EDM) 2386 calls on the Secretary of State for Justice to intervene. Email your MP to ask them to sign now.
