Fourth Palestine Action prisoner launches hunger strike over ‘systematic abuse’

A fourth prisoner in the UK associated with the group Palestine Action has begun a hunger strike, joining three other inmates in protest. The prisoners are demonstrating against their detention conditions and the British government's decision to legally proscribe the direct-action group. The activists were remanded for actions targeting UK military assets they alleged were used for Israeli military operations in Gaza and the Middle East. The hunger strikers are demanding immediate bail, an end to prison interference with their communications, and the reversal of the ban on Palestine Action.
