Saturday 17 January 2026 - Hastings and District PSC AGM
SPEAK OUT FOR THE HUNGER STRIKERS: EMERGENCY PROTEST
Saturday 20 December 12.30 - 1pm. Hastings town centre.
Join us on Saturday to show your support, amplify the voices of the strikers, and break the wall of silence. Support the anti-genocide hunger strikers who have been languishing in jail, in some cases more than a year. None have been found guilty of any crime. Yet they have all been denied bail and treated to repressive and inhumane conditions. We have invited the local MP and all local councillors to speak out and join us to read out letters and diary extracts from the strikers.
This short video gives a useful background to the case of the hunger strikers:

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.
