A group of 33 activists detained in connection with Palestine Action activities is threatening to initiate a hunger strike to protest their deteriorating prison conditions. In a letter addressed to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, the campaign group Prisoners for Palestine (PFP) outlined a series of demands on behalf of the detainees, who claim they are unjustly imprisoned for their efforts to oppose what they describe as the genocide in Palestine. The prisoners include members of the Filton 24, arrested in late 2024 for targeting an Elbit Systems factory in Bristol, and the Brize Norton 5, who allegedly broke into an RAF air base and vandalized planes they claimed were used in military operations in Gaza and the Middle East. All have been denied bail, with some spending over a year in custody without trial on charges including criminal damage and aggravated burglary. Since July 2024, when Palestine Action was designated a terrorist organization by then-Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, prisoners linked to the group have reported worsening treatment, including increased restrictions on communication and recreational activities. One detainee, T Hoxha, a member of the Filton 24, began a hunger strike in August after her library work and mail privileges were suspended. The PFP letter warned that unless their demands are met, the 33 inmates will launch a coordinated hunger strike on November 2, the anniversary of the 1917 Balfour Declaration. The demands include an end to censorship of prisoners’ communications, immediate bail for those held on remand, and the release of all documents related to their cases. Audrey Corno and Francesca Nadin, PFP representatives and former detainees, delivered the letter to the Home Office on Monday, emphasizing that the prisoners feel they have no other recourse. Corno described the potential strike as historic, likening it to the 1981 Irish hunger strike led by Bobby Sands. The PFP also highlighted that prisoners have faced increasing restrictions on mail, phone calls, and visitations since the group’s proscription. Moiz Ibrahim, a Filton 24 member held in HMP Lewes, has reportedly had his family and friends’ contact details erased from his phone system, leaving him unable to communicate with them. The letter further accused the UK government of collaborating with Israeli officials and Elbit Systems in targeting activists. Corno and Nadin expressed confidence in gaining broader support from other prisoners, citing solidarity among inmates who understand their cause. The Ministry of Justice, HM Prison and Probation Service, and the Home Office have yet to comment on the matter.
