UK protesters demand Palestine Action hunger striker be moved to prison near family

Pro-Palestine activists are protesting outside of New Hall prison in Wakefield, northern England, where Palestine Action-linked prisoner Heba Muraisi is currently on hunger strike.

Demonstrators are demanding that Muraisi be moved back to HMP Bronzefield, where she was originally placed before being relocated over 100 miles away from her support network, isolating her from friends and family, whom she has not seen for many months.

Muraisi is now on day 57 of her hunger strike and is losing the ability to form sentences and make conversation, according to a statement released by Prisoners for Palestine on her behalf.

The statement said: "Heba still stands strong but she is well into the danger zone, is losing the ability to speak and think clearly. She needs to be near her family right now."
