Families of Palestine Action hunger strikers in hospital 'blocked' from contacting them

Families of hunger-striking prisoners affiliated with the group Palestine Action report being blocked from contacting their relatives who have been hospitalized in the UK. One prisoner, Kamran Ahmed, has been hospitalized for a second time due to his protest against detention conditions and the proscription of the direct-action group. His family states they are unable to receive medical updates, despite tests showing a dangerously slowing pulse and high blood acidity. The protest is part of a rolling hunger strike by Palestine Action-affiliated prisoners, with some not eating for over 40 days.
