<\/p>\nBREAKING\u00a0|\u00a0<\/p>\n
Three pro-Palestinian activists detained in Britain ended their hunger strike on Wednesday, with some of them facing imminent death from the effects of their protest, campaign group Prisoners for Palestine said in a statement.<\/p>\n
All of the hunger strikers have been charged with offences allegedly carried out on behalf of Palestine Action, before the group was banned and designated a terrorist organisation.<\/p>\n
Two are in custody over alleged involvement in a break-in at an Israeli-linked defence firm last year. The other was one of several accused of breaching a military air base in central England and damaging two aircraft in protest against Britain’s support for Israel.<\/p>\n
Palestine Action was banned in July, putting it on a par with Islamic State or al Qaeda and making it a crime to be a member. Thousands have since been arrested for holding signs in support of the group.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Kamran Ahmed, Heba Muraisi and Lewie Chiaramello announced the end of their hunger strikes after Elbit Systems UK failed to win a British government contract.<\/p>\n
Prisoners for Palestine said Elbit Systems had failed to secure a \u00a32 billion contract that would have meant them training 60,000 British millitary members a year.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur prisoners hunger strike will be remembered as a landmark moment of pure defiance; an embarrassment for the British state,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBanning a group and imprisoning our comrades has backfired on the British state, direct action is alive and the people will drive Elbit out of Britain for good.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BREAKING\u00a0|\u00a0 Three pro-Palestinian activists detained in Britain ended their hunger strike on Wednesday, with some of them facing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284839,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[9,10,13,14,68,6,71,11,12,15,16,5,72,22956,7,8,65,66,67],"class_list":{"0":"post-284838","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-featured-news","11":"tag-featurednews","12":"tag-gaza","13":"tag-headlines","14":"tag-israel","15":"tag-latest-news","16":"tag-latestnews","17":"tag-main-news","18":"tag-mainnews","19":"tag-news","20":"tag-palestine","21":"tag-reuters","22":"tag-top-stories","23":"tag-topstories","24":"tag-world","25":"tag-world-news","26":"tag-worldnews"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115896271764096263","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
