An activist held on remand on charges linked to the direct action group Palestine Action in UK prison has been hospitalised for the fifth time after going on hunger strike for more than 50 days.

Kamran Ahmed is one of eight pro-Palestine activists who began a hunger strike last year after Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, failed to respond to a letter setting out concerns over their treatment.

The group’s demands include immediate bail, an end to interference with their personal communications in prison, and the de-proscription of Palestine Action, which accuses the UK government of complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

    I’d never support the Israeli government

    But you just said you support the two state solution? Or has this conversation made you realise the ‘israeli’ government is objectively wrong and cannot continue? Are you finally a one stater and want to enact Thawabit?

      Supporting a two state solution is not the same as supporting the Israeli government.

      Again, Palestine wants a two state solution. Are they “fully Zionist” too?

      And why can’t you answer any of the questions I’ve asked above?
